Singapore legislation
Clause 27
Clause 27
How safety directive is given
(1)
A safety directive is binding on the person or class of persons to whom it is addressed and given.
(2)
A safety directive that is addressed to a person is sufficiently given if it is served in the manner prescribed in section 46.
(3)
A safety directive that is addressed to a class of persons is sufficiently given if it is —
served on each of the persons in the class in the manner prescribed in section 46; or
published both —
in a daily newspaper circulating in Singapore or in any other news media that, in the opinion of the LTA, will be most likely to bring the directive to the attention of the persons who belong to the class; and
on the LTA’s official website.
(4)
Once such a safety directive is made and given under this section, the Minister must also publish the making of the directive in a manner that the Minister thinks will secure adequate publicity for the fact of making and giving of the safety directive.
(5)
However, failure to publish a safety directive under subsection (4) does not invalidate the directive.
(6)
A safety directive that is given —
in accordance with subsection (2) takes effect when it is served;
in accordance with subsection (3)(a) takes effect when it is served on all the persons in the class in question; and
in accordance with subsection (3)(b) takes effect at the beginning of the day after the date on which subsection (3)(b) has been complied with.
