Ministerial notices

Ministerial notices are urgent workplace warnings. They are issued when a situation occurs that puts someone at imminent serious risk of harm at, or near, a workplace.

A notice may set out methods of work or other things to prevent or minimise exposure to the risk.

A notice overrides any existing regulation.
