WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY ACT 2011 - SECT 195
Power to issue prohibition notice
(1) This section applies if an inspector reasonably believes that— (a) an
activity is occurring at a workplace that involves or will involve a serious
risk to the health or safety of a person emanating from an immediate or
imminent exposure to a hazard; or
(b) an activity may occur at a workplace
that, if it occurs, will involve a serious risk to the health or safety of a
person emanating from an immediate or imminent exposure to a hazard.
(2) The
inspector may give a person who has control over the activity a direction
prohibiting the carrying on of the activity, or the carrying on of the
activity in a stated way, until an inspector is satisfied that the matters
that give or will give rise to the risk have been remedied.
(3) The direction
may be given orally, but must be confirmed by written notice (a
"prohibition notice" ) issued to the person as soon as practicable.
