146—Work involving flame or flash
(1) A person must not
do any work on a vessel by means of a device that produces a flame or flash
exposed to the air unless—

work has been authorised in writing by the owner of the vessel or the owner's
agent; and
(b) the
work is carried out in a safe and professional manner; and
(c) no
vessel is being refuelled within 10 m of the vessel.
Maximum penalty: $750.
(2) If
subregulation (1) is contravened, the operator of the vessel on which the
