EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Construction Safety Regulations 1950 prohibit a person from operating an

amusement device unless any liability for damages for death or personal injury

arising out of the operation, use, failure or collapse of the device is covered by an
insurance policy.

The object of this Regulation is to increase (from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000) the

minimum cover per accident for which such a policy must provide.
