Order preventing employment of certain persons
18PQ Order preventing employment of certain persons
The Secretary may, by order in writing, direct that a specified person:
is not to be employed by a public weighbridge licensee to perform duties relating to the operation of any public weighbridge; or
is to be employed by a public weighbridge licensee to perform duties relating to the operation of any public weighbridge only in compliance with specified conditions.
The Secretary must not make such an order unless satisfied that it is necessary to do so because of the person’s lack of competency, or lack of fitness in any other respect, to exercise the functions concerned.
If the Secretary makes an order under this section, the Secretary must:
serve a copy of the order on the person to whom it relates (if the person’s whereabouts are known to the Secretary); and
serve a copy of the order on each public weighbridge licensee that the Secretary knows is employing that person when the order is made.
The order comes into force on the last day on which it is served.
It is a condition of each public weighbridge licence of that public weighbridge licensee that the licensee must not employ a person in contravention of an order in force under this section.
