WORK SAFETY REGULATION 2009 (NO 45 OF 2009) - REG 45

    (1)     This section applies if a work safety representative for a worker consultation unit believes on reasonable grounds that—

        (a)     a person (a responsible person ) is contravening, or is likely to contravene, a provision of the Act; and

        (b)     the contravention affects, or is likely to affect, 1 or more represented workers.

    (2)     The work safety representative may give the responsible person a provisional improvement notice requiring the person to rectify the matters or activities causing the contravention or likely contravention.

    (3)     The work safety representative must not give a provisional improvement notice to a responsible person unless the representative believes on reasonable grounds that taking any further steps to consult the person about rectifying the matter or activity causing the contravention or likely contravention is unlikely to result in the rectification of the matter or activity.

    (4)     A work safety representative must not give a provisional improvement notice to a responsible person in relation to a matter or activity that is the subject of an improvement notice or prohibition notice.
