1.15FB Work carried out for an excluded employer
          (1) Work was carried out for an excluded employer if it was done:
               (a) for, or for the benefit of, a person, partnership or unincorporated
                   association that was, at the time the work was done, specified in an
                   instrument made under subregulation (2); and
               (b) as an employee or contractor of:
                     (i) the person, partnership or unincorporated association; or
                    (ii) a contractor or subcontractor of the person, partnership or
                         unincorporated association.
          (2) The Minister may, by legislative instrument, specify a person, partnership or
              unincorporated association (the employer) if the Minister is satisfied that:
               (a) the employer may pose a risk to the safety or welfare of a person
                   performing work in the employment, or under the supervision, of the
                   employer; or
               (b) the performance of work in the employment, or under the supervision, of
                   the employer may pose a risk to the safety or welfare of a person.
        (2A) Before specifying a person, partnership or unincorporated association under
             subregulation (2), the Minister must:
               (a) give written notice to the person, partnership or unincorporated association
                   stating that the Minister proposes to specify the person, partnership or
                   unincorporated association and the reasons for doing so; and








                 (b) allow the person, partnership or unincorporated association at least 28 days
                     to make a written submission to the Minister about the proposed
                     specification.
          (3) Without limiting subregulation (2), the Minister may specify a person,
              partnership or unincorporated association using any or all of the following
              information:
                (a) the name of the person, partnership or unincorporated association;
                (b) the ABN (within the meaning of the A New Tax System (Australian
                    Business Number) Act 1999) of the person, partnership or unincorporated
                    association;
                (c) any other information that identifies the person, partnership or
                    unincorporated association.
          (4) If the Minister, by legislative instrument, specifies a person, partnership or
              unincorporated association under subregulation (2), the Minister must, as soon as
              reasonably practicable, give the person, partnership or unincorporated
              association a copy of the instrument.
