OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATIONS 2017 - REG 502

Flow on suspension or cancellation of some classes of high risk work licence

    (1)     This regulation applies if—

        (a)     a person holds a high risk work licence that authorises the person to perform more than one class of high risk work under the licence; and

        (b)     the Authority is satisfied that a ground of suspension or cancellation only exists in relation to one or some, but not to all, of those classes of high risk work; and

        (c)     the skills required to do the class of high risk work in relation to which a ground of suspension or cancellation exists are also necessary to do another class of high risk work under the licence.

    (2)     Despite regulation 501, the Authority must also suspend or cancel the licence to the extent that it applies to the other class of high risk work referred to in subregulation (1)(c).

Example

A person holds a high risk work licence that authorises the performance of dogging work and work involving the operation of non-slewing mobile cranes and slewing mobile cranes of up to 20 tonnes. The licence holder operates a non-slewing mobile crane unsafely and the Authority decides that grounds exist to suspend the licence in relation to the authorisation to operate those cranes. This regulation requires that the Authority also suspend the licence holder's authorisation to operate a slewing mobile crane of up to 20 tonnes because the skills required to operate a non-slewing mobile crane are required in order to operate a slewing mobile crane. However, regulation 501 ensures that the licence holder's ability to perform dogging work under the licence is not suspended unless there has also been a breach by the licence holder in relation to dogging activities.
