8  Membership of public scheme
 (1) For the purposes of paragraph 39B(4)(a) of the Act, in deciding whether to grant an application by an employer to become a member of a public scheme, the consideration to which the Employment Liaison Officer must have regard is whether, on account of any or all of the following:
 (a) the employer's accident history;
 (b) the employer's first‑aid facilities;
 (c) the employer's accident prevention awareness;
 (d) the employer's standard of administration;
the claims for compensation that may arise in respect of the employer's trade or business would be likely to prejudice the operation of the scheme so as to require higher membership fees for employers.
 (2) For the purposes of subsection 39B(5) of the Act, the membership fee for a public scheme for an employer is, for each calendar month in which the employer is a member of the scheme, an amount worked out by multiplying $0.30 by the number of hours worked by each employee of the employer during the month (other than any part of the month for which the employer is not a member of the scheme).
