Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations, which come into force on the 28th day after the date of their notification in the Gazette, amend the Health and Safety in Employment Regulations 1995 by revoking the provisions relating to construction blasters.

As a result of the coming into force of the Hazardous Substances (Fireworks, Safety Ammunition, and Other Explosives Transfer) Regulations 2003 (SR 2003/176), handlers of explosives must now comply with the requirements imposed by regulations made under the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996. Consequently, any regulations made under the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992 that impose certification requirements on handlers of explosives are no longer necessary.

Issued under the authority of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989.

Date of notification in Gazette: 18 September 2003.
