11  Crown to be bound
  This Act binds the Crown, not only in right of this jurisdiction but also, so far as the legislative power of the Parliament permits, the Crown in all its other capacities.
Note: The extent (if any) to which, and manner in which (if appropriate) criminal proceedings may be brought against the Crown will depend on local policy (see Part 7).

Part 2—Occupational Health and Safety legislation

Note: The Occupational Health and Safety Act [local variations] is the main Act that deals with the health, safety and welfare of people at work, including people at work in railway operations. This Division explains how this Act fits with the OHS legislation and creates additional protections, rights and obligations necessary because of the special risks associated with railway operations.  This Act should be read as if it were part of the OHS legislation.  This Part makes it clear that this Act provides for an increase in the standard of protection of people at work in railway operations, in addition to the protection that the OHS legislation provides.
