Automatic suspension or cancellation of high risk work licences

r. 6.1.46

    (1)     The Authority must suspend a high risk work licence in relation to a particular class of work if it is satisfied that a corresponding Authority has recommended that the licence be suspended in relation to that class of work after that Authority has conducted an inquiry equivalent to the inquiry required by regulation 6.1.47.

    (2)     The period of suspension must be the same period recommended by the corresponding Authority, or if that Authority recommended a termination date for the suspension, the suspension must end on that date.

    (3)     The Authority must cancel a high risk work licence in relation to a particular class of work if it is satisfied that a corresponding Authority has recommended that the licence be cancelled in relation to that class of work after that Authority has conducted an inquiry equivalent to the inquiry required by regulation 6.1.47.

    (4)     The cancellation must occur as soon as is reasonably possible after the date the Authority receives the recommendation, but not less than 14 days after that date.

    (5)     If the Authority is required to suspend or cancel a licence, or a part of a licence, under this regulation, it must give the licence holder written notice of the suspension or cancellation, and must include in the notice a copy of the recommendation on which it based the suspension or cancellation.

    (6)     The 14 day minimum period specified in subregulation (4) does not apply if, in the opinion of the Authority, there are exceptional circumstances that pose an immediate significant risk to health or safety.
