s 1 15 s 3 Transport Operations (Marine Safety) Regulation 1995 TRANSPORT OPERATIONS (MARINE SAFETY) REGULATION 1995 [as amended by all amendments that commenced on or before 1 July 2004] PART 1—PRELIMINARY 1 Short title This regulation may be cited as the Transport Operations (Marine Safety) Regulation 1995 . 2 Commencement This regulation commences on 1 January 1996. 3 Role of this regulation compared to the standards (1) The role of this regulation is to prescribe various matters for the purposes of the Act. (2) Some of the sections of this regulation specify various matters with which certain people must comply. (3) Compliance with the sections is in addition to any requirement under the Act to comply with a section of the Act, including, for example, the sections about the general safety obligations. 1 (4) The role of the standards is to help people understand the general safety obligations. 2 1 See sections 40 (General safety obligation of ship designers and builders and marine surveyors about condition of ships) and 41 (General safety obligation of ship owners and masters about condition of ships) of the Act. 2 See section 31 (What is a standard) of the Act.
s 3 16 s 3 Transport Operations (Marine Safety) Regulation 1995 (5) Section 42 3 of the Act states the relationship between provisions in the regulation and standards and the general safety obligations about the condition of ships by providing as follows— 42.(1) In this section— “certificate of compliance” includes an equivalent certificate issued under a law of the Commonwealth or another State. “general safety provision” means either of the following sections— section 40 (General safety obligation of ship designers and builders and marine surveyors about condition of ships) section 41 (General safety obligation of ship owners and masters about condition of ships). “regulatory provision” means a provision of a regulation or standard about the condition, equipping or crewing of ships. (2) This section applies if— (a) it is claimed in a proceeding that a person contravened a safety provision because of the condition of a ship or its equipping or crewing (the “safety issue” ); and (b) a regulatory provision provided a way of dealing with the safety issue to achieve safety. (3) If it is proved that the safety issue was not dealt with in the way provided by the regulatory provision, the general safety provision is taken to have been contravened unless— (a) the court is satisfied that— (i) a certificate of survey or a certificate of compliance issued by someone other than the defendant was in force for the ship and the certificate covered the safety issue (in whole or in part); and (ii) it was reasonable for the defendant to rely on the certificate to satisfy compliance with the general safety provision; or 3 Section 42 (Relationship between regulatory provisions and general safety obligations about the condition of ships) of the Act. See also current reprint of Transport Operations (Marine Safety) Act 1994 for section 42 as currently in force.
s 4 17 s 5 Transport Operations (Marine Safety) Regulation 1995 (b) the court is satisfied that the general safety provision was complied with, despite noncompliance with the regulatory provision. (4) In deciding whether the general safety provision had been complied with despite noncompliance with the regulatory provision, the court must have regard to the objectives of this Act.’. 4 4 Definitions—the dictionary (1) The dictionary in schedule 11, defines particular words used in this regulation.
