Vol. 223 No. 2

Public Health (Availability of Defibrillators) Bill 2013: First Stage

I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to require the owners of particular types of premises or venues to install and maintain defibrillators so that they are available for public use and to require such occupiers to erect signage and make information available online regarding the location of such defibrillators and to require the occupiers to provide training to persons on the premises; to require the maintenance of a register in each premises concerning defibrillators located therein; to provide appropriate exemptions from civil liability; to provide for offences; to empower the health and safety authority to supervise and ensure a compliance with this Act and for that purpose to amend the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005; and to provide for related matters.

Question put and agreed to.

When is it proposed to take Second Stage?

On Tuesday next.

Is that agreed? Agreed.
