ERIC ROOZENDAAL, M.L.C., Acting Minister AssistingAssisting thethe MinisterMinister forfor FinanceFinance Explanatory note The object of this Regulation is to amend the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 to put in place measures aimed at preventing major accidents occurring at major hazard facilities and protecting the health and safety of persons at work and the public from hazards leading to, or arising from, such major accidents. Major hazard facilities are locations such as oil refineries, chemical plants and large fuel and chemical storage sites where large quantities of certain hazardous materials are stored, handled or processed. The National Occupational Health and Safety Commission under the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission Act 1985 of the Commonwealth (which has since been repealed) declared a national standard relating to the control of major hazard facilities. That standard now has effect as if it were made by the Australian Safety and Compensation Council. This Regulation inserts a new Chapter, Chapter 6B (Major hazard facilities), into the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001. The new Chapter gives effect as a law of New South Wales to the hazard identification and risk assessment approach for the regulation of the major hazard facilities as outlined in the national standard. The new Chapter also requires major hazard facilities in the State to be registered. The new Chapter also contains provisions that deal with the following: (a) requiring operators of major hazard facilities to regularly review risk assessments, (b) requiring operators of major hazard facilities to ensure that all persons (including members of the public) are not exposed to risks to their health and safety arising from a major accident occurring at the facility, s2004-293-42.d16 Page 1 NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT GAZETTE No. 82 4 July 2008 LEGISLATION 6529 Occupational Health and Safety Amendment (Major Hazard Facilities) Regulation 2008 Explanatory note (c) requiring persons who are operating, or are intending to operate, major hazard facilities or potential major hazard facilities, to notify the WorkCover Authority of that fact and provide other information, (d) the provisional registration of major hazard facilities by the WorkCover Authority, (e) the consequences of such provisional registration, including that operators of such facilities must comply with certain conditions, such as conditions relating to safety, emergency planning and security, (f) requiring operators of provisionally registered major hazard facilities to apply to be fully registered, (g) the registration of major hazard facilities, including the duration and renewal of such registration, (h) the consequences of such registration, including that the operator of such a facility must comply with certain conditions, such as conditions relating to safety, emergency planning and security, (i) the cancellation and suspension of such provisional registration or registration of major hazard facilities, (j) duties of employees at major hazard facilities, (k) the keeping of records of major accidents and other incidents at major hazard facilities, (l) security at major hazard facilities, (m) other related matters.

These events include street parades, motor races, cycling races, jazz festivals, cultural celebrations, sporting events, open air theatres and concerts, and balls or dance parties and can often attract large numbers of people. A lot of time and effort goes into planning and promoting these events and they are often seen as a way of creating employment and providing economic benefits for the local community. Councils play a variety of roles, from event manager to consent authority, and have to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages for everyone in their community before they give approval for the event to go ahead. Events are often complex and may depend on approvals from a range of different agencies. The key to staging a successful event is good communication, as early as possible in the process, between the promoter of the event and the local council and other consent authorities such as the Police and the Environment Protection Authority.
