594 Replacement licence document
(1) The operator of a licensed major hazard facility must give written notice to the regulator as soon as practicable if the licence document is lost, stolen or destroyed.
Note: Section 12F of the Act provides that strict liability applies to each physical element of each offence under the Act, unless otherwise stated. The reference in section 12F of the Act includes these Regulations.
(2) If a licence document for a licensed major hazard facility is lost, stolen or destroyed, the operator may apply to the regulator for a replacement document.
Note: An operator is required to keep the licence document available for inspection (see regulation 587).
Note: See section 268 of the Act for offences relating to the giving of false or misleading information under the Act or these Regulations.
(5) The regulator must issue a replacement licence document if satisfied that the original document was lost, stolen or destroyed.
(6) If the regulator refuses to issue a replacement licence document, it must give the operator written notice of this decision, including the reasons for the decision, within 14 days after making the decision.
Note: A refusal to issue a replacement licence document is a reviewable decision (see regulation 676).
