Why does the Act provide for the secretary to exempt people from needing a management or use licence?
It is technically possible that there may be practices that meet the definition of “radiation practice” as defined in the Act even though the nature or circumstances of that practice mean that it did not pose a significant risk to the health or safety of any person or the safety of the environment. It is therefore important that a power exists for exemption of a person or class of person from the requirement to hold a management licence or a use licence.
