675A Generic safety management systems
(1) For each stage of an operating
plant, the operator of the plant is taken to have a safety management system
that complies with section 675if the operator adopts a generic SMS for that
stage.
(2) However, subsection (1) does not apply for a stage of a plant
if—
(a) the chief inspector considers that, because of the complexity of the
plant or the particular risks associated with the plant, the generic SMS does
not sufficiently manage the level of risk at the plant for the stage; and
(b)
the chief inspector gives the operator a written notice stating that the
safety management system for the plant must comply with section 675for the
stage.
(3) In this section—
"generic SMS" , for a stage of an operating plant (the
"relevant plant" ), means a system in the form of a safety management system
that is prescribed under a regulation for the stage of an operating plant of
the same type as the relevant plant.
