Radiation Safety Act 1999

This section applies if an inspector reasonably believes a person—

is contravening a provision of this Act; or

has contravened a provision of this Act in circumstances that make it likely the contravention will continue or be repeated.

The inspector may, by written notice (an improvement notice) given to the person, require the person to remedy—

the contravention or likely contravention; or

the things or operations causing the contravention or likely contravention.

The improvement notice must state—

that the inspector believes the person—

is contravening a provision of this Act; or

has contravened a provision of this Act in circumstances that make it likely that the contravention will continue or be repeated; and

the provision the inspector believes is being, or has been, contravened; and

briefly, how the provision is being, or has been, contravened; and

the reasonable steps the person must take to remedy the contravention or likely contravention; and

that the person must take the steps within a stated reasonable period.

The person must comply with the notice, unless the person has a reasonable excuse.
