workplace to avoid the need for employees employed at the workplace to
undertake any manual handling operations which may create safety and 
health risks, that person must, before those manual handling operations are
undertaken at the workplace, ensure that a further assessment is made of the
risks to the safety and health of those employees having regard to the matters
specified in column 1 of Schedule 3 and the questions relating to those
matters specified in column 2 of that Schedule.

(2) The person responsible for a workplace must conduct a review of a
further assessment made in accordance with this section whenever-

   (a)  that person has reason to believe that the assessment is no longer
        valid; or

   (b)  the circumstances in which the assessment was made have significantly
        changed.

(3) As soon as practicable after reviewing a further assessment in accordance
with subsection (2), the person responsible for the workplace must vary the
assessment by making such modifications to it as are indicated to be required
upon the review.

(4) A person responsible for a workplace who fails to comply with subsection
(1), (2) or (3) commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine of
$200000.
