'Safe' and 'unsafe' are defined terms and are not opposites. They are better understood as defined points on a spectrum of risk of harm or damage to property.
If an investigation or audit made by us indicates that there is serious non-compliance, or there is a previous history of non-compliance, an infringement notice may be issued. This is accompanied by an infringement fee.
We may prosecute rather than issue an infringement notice. This will usually happen when this is considered necessary for deterrent effect or when an infringement notice has not achieved correction of a non-compliance situation. This will be considered on a case by case basis.
Warnings, advisories, bans and recalls are different enforcement measures that can be used by us if we believe there is an issue with a product or installation.
