Review of risk control measures

3.3.8. Review of risk control measures



(1) An employer must ensure that any measures implemented to control risks in
relation to falls are reviewed and, if necessary, revised-

   (a)  before any alteration is made to plant or systems of work that is
        likely to result in a fall; or

   (b)  after any incident occurs to which Part 5 of the Act applies that
        involves a fall or the risk of a fall; or

   (c)  if, for any other reason, the risk control measures do not adequately
        control the risks; or

   (d)  after receiving a request from a health and safety representative.

Note Act compliance-section 21 (see regulation 1.1.7).

(2) A health and safety representative may make a request under subregulation
(1)(d) if the health and safety representative believes on reasonable grounds
that-

   (a)  any of the circumstances referred to in subregulations (1)(a) to
        (1)(c) exists; or

   (b)  the employer has failed-

   (i)  to properly review the risk control measures; or

   (ii) to take account of any of the circumstances referred to in
        subregulations (1)(a) to (1)(c) in conducting a review of, or
        revising, the risk control measures.
