Review of risk control measures

    (1)     An employer must review and, if necessary, revise any measures implemented to control risks associated with an asbestos-related activity—

        (a)     before any change is made to systems of work related to the activity that is likely to increase the risk to health or safety; or

        (b)     after any incident occurs to which Part 5 of the Act applies that involves an asbestos‑related activity; or

        (c)     if, for any other reason, the risk control measures do not adequately control the risks; or

        (d)     after receiving a request from a health and safety representative.

Note

Act compliance—sections 21 and 23 (see regulation 7).

    (2)     A health and safety representative may make a request under subregulation (1)(d) if the health and safety representative believes on reasonable grounds that—

        (a)     any of the circumstances referred to in subregulation (1)(a), (b) and (c) exist; or

        (b)     the employer has failed—

              (i)     to properly review the risk control measures; or
