Otherwise finding the course useful

improvement and prohibition notices
Hello Ian,
I am not sure if you have seen them – but there are examples of each to download within the course.
An Example Improvement Notice, can be viewed here
http://www.shepro.org/viewlink-1166.html.
An Example Prohibition Notice, can be viewed here
http://www.shepro.org/viewlink-1165.html.
To further clarify which is which:-
To serve an improvement notice, an inspector must be of the opinion that there is a breach of relevant statutory provisions, or that there has been a breach that is likely to be continued or repeated. A relevant example would be a floor that has been poorly maintained (in contravention of the requirements of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992).
For a prohibition notice to be served, an inspector must be of the opinion that there is, or is likely to be, a risk of serious personal injury. A relevant example would be a scaffold that has been poorly constructed and is therefore in an unsafe condition.
The effect of an appeal against an improvement notice is to suspend the notice until the appeal is held, whereas a prohibition notice continues in force until the appeal is heard.
Hope this helps…
Kind regards & good luck with your studies,
Mike.
