(a) the person applies for a licence, temporary licence or limited licence;

(b) the person’s employer files a document with the Registrar containing the information set out in subsection (3), in the form provided by the Association, and the document is approved in writing by the Registrar; and

(c) the person is a person named in the document under clause (3) (b).

(3) The document shall contain,

(b) the names of the persons referred to in clause (a); and

(c) a statement by the person’s employer that the employer and each of the persons referred to in clause (a) are taking and shall take all necessary measures to ensure that any act described in subsection (2) that is done by that person on or after the industrial exemption repeal date by virtue of the exemption in subsection (2) shall be done in a manner that safeguards life, health, property, economic interests, the public welfare and the environment.

(4) Subsection (2) does not apply to acts done by a person if the person’s employer knowingly makes a false statement in the document. 

(5) If the person’s application for a licence, temporary licence or limited licence is refused by the Registrar or withdrawn, subsection (2) ceases to apply to acts done by the person on and after the date of the refusal or withdrawal.

(6) If the Registrar discovers that the person is failing or has failed to meet the obligation described in clause (3) (c), subsection (2) ceases to apply to acts done by the person on and after the first day on which the failure occurred.

(7) If the Registrar discovers that an employer is failing or has failed to meet the obligation described in clause (3) (c), subsection (2) ceases to apply to acts done by any of the persons named by the employer under clause (3) (b) on and after the first day on which the failure occurred.

(8) The Registrar shall give notice of a cessation under subsection (6) or (7) to each of the affected persons and to his or her employer, and the Registrar shall indicate in the notice the date of and reason for the cessation.

2. Section 88 of the Regulation, as made by section 1, is revoked.
