HEAVY VEHICLE NATIONAL LAW (ACT) - SECT 358

    (1)     The Regulator may grant a work diary exemption (notice) only if the Regulator is satisfied—

        (a)     requiring the drivers to whom the exemption is to apply to comply with Subdivisions 1 to 5 of Division 2 would be an unreasonable restriction on operations conducted by the drivers; and

        (b)     the class of work to which the exemption is to apply will not pose—

              (i)     a significant risk to public safety; or

              (ii)     a significant risk of the drivers to whom the exemption is to apply driving on a road while impaired by fatigue.

    (2)     In deciding whether or not to grant a work diary exemption (notice), the Regulator must have regard to the approved guidelines for granting work diary exemptions.
