Explosives Regulation 2017

This section applies if—

the holder of an authority has chosen to give a safety and health census for the authority for a financial year under section 179A(2); and

during the financial year—

the CEO gives the holder a notice under section 179A(6) requiring a safety and health census for the authority for each quarter of the financial year; or

the number of explosives workers working under the authority increases to more than 5.

Despite section 177, definition reporting period, the reporting period for the authority is each quarter of the financial year.

The holder must give the CEO a safety and health census for the authority for the current quarter and each earlier quarter of the financial year, not previously given to the CEO, on or before the required day.

Section 179 applies in relation to a safety and health census mentioned in subsection (3)—

as if the reference in section 179(1) to within 20 days after the end of each reporting period were a reference to on or before the required day; and

with any other necessary changes.

Section 181 applies in relation to a safety and health census mentioned in subsection (3)—

as if the reference in section 181(1)(b) to the day that is 20 days after the end of the reporting period were a reference to the required day; and

with any other necessary changes.

Subsection (2) stops applying if the requirement mentioned in subsection (1)(b)(i) is cancelled under section 179A(7).

If subsection (1)(b)(ii) applies, the holder of the authority may not choose under section 179A(2) to give a safety and health census for the authority for the financial year, even if the number of explosives workers decreases to 5 or fewer.

In this section—required day means—

if the CEO has stated a day by which a safety and health census must be given in a notice under section 179A(6)—the day stated in the notice; or

otherwise—the day that is 20 days after the end of the current quarter.
