Deviation from regulations

65.1

(1) Where an application is made in writing to the minister for authorization to deviate at a workplace from a provision of the regulations, the minister may authorize the deviation where the minister is satisfied that the deviation affords protection for the health and safety of workers equal to or greater than the protection prescribed by the regulations from which the deviation is requested.

65.1(2)

In applying a regulation for which a deviation under subsection (1) is authorized, a deviation and any terms and conditions authorized under this section shall, while the deviation is in effect, be substituted for the prescription or requirement in the regulations.

65.1(3)

The minister may, at the minister’s initiative or upon application, reconsider, confirm, vary, revoke or suspend the minister’s decision regarding a deviation at any time when information is produced that, had it been known when the request for the deviation was determined previously, would reasonably be expected to have resulted in a different decision from the one made at that time.
