Recognition of Design Registration by WorkCover New South Wales

If you want design recognition by WorkCover NSW please tick the appropriate box on the Workplace Standards Tasmania application form PRF1 and supply information that confirms the following:

1 ) The NSW Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001, (clause 107) requires that the designer and design verifier are not employed or engaged by the same person (company) unless working under an accredited Quality System that meets the requirements of ISO 9001 that includes design.

2.) In addition, should plant specified in the Table of clause 107 of above Regulation not be designed to an Australian Standard specified in Schedule 1 of the above Regulation (see list of standards at www.workcover.nsw.gov.au), then the application will require a statement by the design verifier giving details of the standard being used and stating that the design has been assessed against the relevant Australian Standard (from Schedule 1) and the design will produce an item of plant that provides at least an equivalent level of safety as would the Australian Standard.
