3.4.13. Review of risk control measures



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

   (a)  after any incident occurs to which Part 5 of the Act applies that
        involves work in a confined space; or

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

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

Note Act compliance-sections 21 and 23 (see regulation 1.1.7).

(2) A health and safety representative may make a request under subregulation

that-

        exist; or

   (b)  the employer has failed-

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

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