OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH REGULATIONS 1996 - REG 7.22

7.22 .         Unfinished applications for registration as an assessor

        (1)         This regulation applies to an application for registration as an assessor that was made under Part 6 of the former regulations but was not decided on before the commencement day.

        (2)         An application to which this regulation applies is to be dealt with under regulation 6.22 as if it were an application, made under regulation 6.21, for registration as an assessor in respect of the class or classes of high risk work corresponding to the work in relation to which the applicant sought registration under the former regulations.

        (3)         For the purposes of deciding on an application to which this regulation applies, the requirement under regulation 6.22(2)(a) to hold a high risk work licence is satisfied if the applicant holds a certificate of competency for the work in relation to which the applicant sought registration under the former regulations.

        (4)         For the purposes of applying Part 6 to or in relation to an assessor registered in accordance with this regulation, the following modifications apply —

            (a)         the requirement under regulation 6.26(a) to continue to hold a high risk work licence for a class of high risk work is satisfied if, before the renewal, the assessor is granted a licence for that class of work under regulation 7.17;

            (b)         until the assessor is granted a high risk work licence under regulation 7.17 —

                  (i)         regulations 6.28(1)(b) and 6.29(1)(b) do not apply; and

                  (ii)         instead the Commissioner may suspend or cancel the assessor’s registration in respect of a particular class of high risk work if the Commissioner is satisfied that the assessor no longer holds a certificate of competency for the work corresponding to high risk work of that class.
