Western Australian Consolidated Regulations Western Australian Consolidated Regulations (1) This regulation
applies if a provision of these regulations says that alternative safety
measures may be complied with instead of other requirements referred to in the
provision (such as those of an Australian Standard) ( primary requirements ).
(2) A person who is
required to comply with primary requirements in relation to the storage,
handling or transport of an explosive may instead comply with alternative
measures if —
(a)
complying with the alternative measures results in a level of risk from the
explosive to people, property and the environment that is equal to or lower
than the level of risk that results from complying with the primary
requirements; and
(b) the
person makes and keeps a written record of the alternative measures and why
they result in the equal or lower level of risk.
(3) If alternative
measures with which a person complies, or purports or intends to comply, do
not or will not result in the equal or lower level of risk referred to in
subregulation (2)(a), the person is to be taken, for the purposes of the Act
and in particular section 47 of it, to be contravening or about to contravene
these regulations.
