(Enacted 1992) Cap 59T s 11 Exemption (1) The Commissioner may by certificate in writing exempt the proprietor of an industrial undertaking or class of industrial undertaking- (a) from a requirement under this Regulation if he considers that compliance with it would not be reasonably practicable; and (b) from ensuring that suitable approved ear protectors are provided under section 6 or are worn under section 4(2)(c) where the full and proper use of an approved ear protector would likely cause risk to the safety or health of the user or compliance with those sections would not be reasonably practicable.(2) The Commissioner may repeal or amend an exemption. (Enacted 1992) Cap 59T s 12 Offences (1) A person who fails to comply with section 3(1) or (2), 4, 5, 6(3), 8 or 9(1) commits an offence and is liable to a fine of $50000.
