If a manufacturer of plant informs the designer of the plant that there is a hazard in the design of plant for which the designer has not provided a control measure, the designer must—

            (a)         revise the information originally supplied to the manufacturer to ensure that—

                  (i)         the risk is eliminated so far as is reasonably practicable; or

                  (ii)         if it is not reasonably practicable to eliminate the risk, the risk is minimised so far as is reasonably practicable; or

            (b)         notify the manufacturer, in writing, that the designer is of the opinion that it is not necessary to revise the information originally supplied to the manufacturer to ensure compliance with this Part.

Maximum penalty:

            (a)         In the case of an individual—$3 600.

            (b)         In the case of a body corporate—$18 000.
