3                                                   Responsible Worker Status under the Security-sensitive Dangerous Substances Act 2005                              There is a significant risk to the health or safety of workers or the public. This risk arises due to substantial differences between jurisdictions for the issuing of SSDS permits and Responsible Worker Status, which means that those working under AMR may not meet Tasmanian requirements. This risk is considered to be significant given the nature of the activities that these registrations involve, in that they deal with dangerous substances and engage in high risk activities, such as the transport, use, manufacture and storing of explosives. Misuse or mishandling of dangerous substances poses a significant risk to the health and safety of both workers and the public.
