Hazard identification may be for classes of plant

3.5.2. Hazard identification may be for classes of plant



(1) This regulation applies to a person who-

   (a)  has a duty under Part 3 of the Act to eliminate risks to health or
        safety in relation to plant so far as is reasonably practicable; and

   (b)  is required under this Part to identify the hazards to that health or
        safety.

(2) A person referred to in subregulation (1) may carry out procedures to
identify the hazards to health and safety for a class of plant rather than for
an individual item of plant if-

   (a)  all the plant in the class have similar functions and productive
        capacity; and



   (b)  the identification carried out for the class of plant does not result
        in any person being subject to a greater, additional or different risk
        to health and safety than if the identification were carried out for
        each individual item of plant.
