Power to issue prohibition notice
64 Power to issue prohibition notice
This section applies if an authorised person reasonably believes that a safety risk arising out of a dangerous situation involving explosives exists or may exist.
The authorised person may give a person a direction for the purposes of averting, eliminating or minimising the safety risk until an authorised person is satisfied that the matters that give or will give rise to the risk have been remedied.
A direction may, for example, prohibit—
the carrying on of an activity, or the carrying on of the activity in a specified way; or
the continuation of the carrying on of an activity, or the carrying on of the activity in a specified way.
The direction may be given orally, but must be confirmed by written notice (a prohibition notice) issued to the person as soon as practicable.
