Compliance Certificate Date Fields and CONDITIONAL Location certificates

  • Responsibility is on the PCBU to maintain the requirements certified throughout the duration of the certification AND there are documented maximum fines where this is proven to have been contravened.

  • Compliance certificate issued now has 3 date fields -
    • an issue date (the date the site was deemed to be compliant for issue),
    • commencement date (maybe the same as the issue date or a future date if an existing certificate is being renewed) and
    • an expiry date.

  • Conditional compliance certificate now has 5 date fields - this is ONLY FOR A LOCATION CERTIFICATE, you cannot have a conditional certificate of any other type.  A conditional certificate is now issued for the full term of the certificate with an additional date field "date requirements must be met" on the certificate. 
    • an issue date (the date the site was deemed to be compliant for issue), 
    • commencement date (maybe the same as the issue date or a future date if an existing certificate is being renewed) and 
    • an expiry date.
    • Date requirements must be met
    • Date requirements were met 
      • If the requirements are met and we update that in the Worksafe database the certificate remains in force until it's expiry,  
      • If the conditional requirements are not met by the date required the certificate automatically becomes null and void and your site will be automatically flagged with Worksafe in the certificate register.

  • Compliance Certifier unable to issue a compliance certificate  - Compliance certifiers MUST notify both Worksafe and the site in writing where they are unable to issue a compliance certificate and what the noncompliances are.

Regulation 6.24
6.24 Conditional compliance certificate for hazardous substance locations
(1) A compliance certifier may issue a conditional compliance certificate in relation to any relevant requirement relating to hazardous substance locations if satisfied that a failure to meet the relevant requirement is minor.
(2) A conditional compliance certificate must specify--
(a) the relevant requirement that has not been met; and
(b) the date (no more than 3 months after the issue of the certificate) by which the relevant requirement must be met.
(3) A compliance certifier must, within 15 working days after issuing a conditional compliance certificate, enter information relating to the conditional certificate in the register of compliance certificates.
(4) After the date specified in subclause (2)(b), a conditional compliance certificate--
(a) must be treated as a non-conditional compliance certificate, if the relevant requirement referred to in subclause (2)(a) is met by that date; but
(b) expires on that date, if the relevant requirement is not met
