Code of Practice, Approved Code of Practice
Code of Practice, Approved Code of Practice : A statement of preferred work practices or arrangements for the purpose of ensuring the health and safety of persons to whom the code applies and persons who may be affected by the activities covered by the code. Under the HSE Act the Minister of Labour may, after consulting all persons affected or likely to be affected by the code, and considering all written comments, approve the code of practice under section 20 of the Act. When a code is approved, a Court may have regard to it in relation to compliance with the relevant sections of the HSE Act. This means that if an employer in an industry or using a process to which an approved code applies can show compliance with that code in all matters it covers, a Court may consider this to be compliance with the provisions of the Act to which the code relates
