OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATION 2001 - REG 4

4 Application of Regulation

(1) This Regulation applies to all places of work, except as provided by this Regulation.

(2) Chapter 5 applies to plant affecting public safety, whether or not the plant is at a place of work or for use at work.

(3) This Regulation does not apply to a mine, except as specified in Schedule 4.

(4) This Regulation does not apply to a coal workplace, except as specified in Schedule 4A.

Note: Part 2 of the Act imposes general obligations on employers and other persons and creates offences for breaches of those obligations. This Regulation imposes additional obligations on those persons and on others. Section 29 of the Act provides that compliance with the regulations is not in itself a defence in any proceedings for an offence against Part 2 of the Act (subject to any regulations that modify Part 2), but also provides that a relevant contravention of the regulations is admissible in evidence in any proceedings for an offence against Part 2.
