33A: Exercise of permit conditional on authorisation

You could also call this:

"You can't start an activity until it's safe and approved under the rules."

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

If you have a permit to do something, you must follow certain rules. You can only do the activity if it is allowed under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, which you can find on the New Zealand legislation website. The activity must also be the type that is allowed under your permit.

You cannot start the activity until it has been authorised under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 or its regulations. The health and safety regulator must tell the chief executive that the activity is authorised, and then the chief executive must tell you that it is okay to start. You must wait for this approval before you begin the activity.
