687 High risk work licence – regulator to be satisfied about certain
(1) The regulator must not grant an exemption under regulation 686
unless satisfied that granting the exemption will result in a standard
of health and safety that is at least equivalent to the standard that
would have been achieved without that exemption.
(2) For the purposes of subregulation (1), the regulator must have
regard to all relevant matters, including whether or not:
(a) the obtaining of the high risk work licence would be
impractical; and
(b) the competencies of the person to be exempted exceed those
required for a high risk work licence; and
(c) any plant used by the person can be modified in a way that
reduces the risk associated with using that plant.
