13  OHS legislation prevails
  If a provision of this Act or the regulations made under this Act is inconsistent with a provision of the occupational health and safety legislation, the provision of the occupational health and safety legislation prevails to the extent of any inconsistency.
Note 1: For example, if a provision of this Act deals with a certain matter and a provision of the Occupational Health and Safety Act deals with the same matter and it is impossible to comply with both provisions, then the person must comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and not with this Act.  If provisions of both Acts deal with the same matter but it is possible to comply with both provisions, then a person must comply with both Acts.
Note 2: Local variations as to priority of improvement notices and prohibition notices.
