687 High risk work licence—regulator to be satisfied about certain matters
(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 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.
