Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) This section applies if--
(a) this Act, in the absence of this section, would have application in particular circumstances; and
(b) the Electrical Safety Act 2002 also has application in the circumstances.
(2) This Act does not have application in the circumstances to the extent that the Electrical Safety Act 2002 has application.
(3) Without limiting subsection (2), to the extent that this Act would impose on a person a workplace health and safety obligation that is concurrent with an electrical safety obligation imposed on the person under the Electrical Safety Act 2002, the workplace health and safety obligation does not apply to the person.
Example for subsection (3)--
Section 28 of this Act imposes an obligation on a person who conducts a business or undertaking to ensure that each person who performs a work activity for the purposes of the business or undertaking is not exposed to risks to their health and safety arising out of the conduct of the business or undertaking. Under the Electrical Safety Act 2002, an obligation is imposed on an employer to ensure the employer's business or undertaking is conducted in a way that is electrically safe. Accordingly, the obligation under this Act of a person who conducts a business or undertaking does not include an obligation to ensure the person's business or undertaking is conducted in a way that is electrically safe.
