COAL MINING SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT 1999 - SECT 38

38 How obligations can be discharged if no regulation or recognised standard made

(1) This section applies if there is no regulation or recognised standard prescribing or stating a way to discharge the person’s safety and health obligation in relation to a risk.

(2) The person may choose an appropriate way to discharge the person’s safety and health obligation in relation to the risk.

(3) However, the person discharges the person’s safety and health obligation in relation to the risk only if the person takes reasonable precautions, and exercises proper diligence, to ensure the obligation is discharged.
