Health and Safety in Employment (Adventure Activities) Regulations 2011—Exemption From the Requirement to be Registered

Under Regulation 21 of the Health and Safety in Employment (Adventure Activities) Regulations 2011 (“the Regulations”), I, Gordon MacDonald, grant an exemption to Wings & Waves Limited, Auckland, from the requirement in Regulation 7(1)(a) of the Regulations (that an adventure activity operator must not provide an adventure activity to a participant unless, when the activity is provided, the operator is registered to provide it).

This exemption applies on and from 13 November 2014 until 5.00pm on 12 December 2014, unless cancelled earlier under Regulation 21(5) of the Regulations, subject to Wings & Waves Limited (“the operator”) meeting the condition described below.

The effect of the exemption is that the operator may provide adventure activities to participants without being registered to provide them under the Regulations.

This exemption is conditional on the Registrar receiving a safety audit certificate from a recognised safety auditor certifying that the operator meets the requirements of the Safety Audit Standard for Adventure Activities – Requirements for a safety audit of operators (March 2013) no later than 5.00pm on 1 December 2014.

If this condition is not met, this exemption will cease to have effect and the operator will need to cease providing adventure activities from that date until the operator is registered.

Dated at Wellington this 13th day of November 2014.

GORDON MacDONALD, Chief Executive, WorkSafe New Zealand.
