S.L. 646.20 Art. 11Exemptions.

(1) In exceptional situations where, because of the nature of the work, the full and proper use of individual hearing protectors would be likely to cause greater risk to health or safety than not using such protectors, the Minister may by order in writing grant exemptions from the provisions of regulations 6(1)(a) and (b) and 7.

(2) The exemptions referred to in subregulation (1), shall be subject to conditions, which in view of individual circumstances, ensure that the risks resulting from such exemptions are reduced to a minimum and the exemptions shall be reviewed periodically and be revoked as soon as is reasonably practicable.
