(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.
