28A: Removal of business or part of business from coverage of wider risk management programme

You could also call this:

"Stopping a business from being part of an animal safety plan"

The Director-General can remove a business or part of a business from a risk management programme if they think it would be okay to deregister the programme under section 28 if that business was the only one using it. You can think of a risk management programme like a plan that helps keep people and animals safe. The Director-General makes this decision based on certain rules. When a business or part of a business is removed from a programme, some rules from section 28(2) to (7) still apply, but they are used a bit differently. These rules help the Director-General decide how to remove a business from a programme, and they are like a set of steps to follow.

28ARemoval of business or part of business from coverage of wider risk management programme

The Director-General may remove any business or part of a business from the coverage of a registered risk management programme that applies to more than 1 comparable business if the Director-General is satisfied that deregistration of the programme would be appropriate under section 28 if the business or part of a business being removed were the only one operating under the programme.
Section 28(2) to (7) applies in relation to the removal of the business or part of a business from the coverage of the risk management programme as if references in those subsections to deregistration of the programme were references to removal from the coverage of the programme.
