WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATIONS 2011 - REG 602

Suspension or cancellation of licence--on regulator's initiative

  (1)   The regulator, on its own initiative, may suspend or cancel a major hazard facility licence if satisfied about one or more of the following:

  (a)   the operator has failed to ensure that the facility is operated safely and competently;

  (b)   the operator has failed to ensure compliance with a condition of the licence;

  (c)   the operator, in the application for the grant or renewal of the licence or on request by the regulator for additional information:

  (i)   gave information that was false or misleading in a material particular; or

  (ii)   failed to give any material information that should have been given in that application or on that request.

  (2)   If the regulator suspends or cancels a major hazard facility licence, the regulator may disqualify the operator from applying for a further major hazard facility licence.

Note:   A decision to suspend a licence, to cancel a licence or to disqualify the operator from applying for a further licence is a reviewable decision (see regulation   676).
