Among other things, the Regulations may establish conditions regarding the person performing a particular task, including their education, training and experience, as well as their age and the absence of a medical limitation preventing performance of the work. Regulations concerning authorization to perform an inspection and supervision role in a workplace may also establish conditions regarding criminal record and conflict of interest, and there may also be Regulations concerning conditions for completing required professional training. In addition, it will be possible to establish Regulations concerning obligations, restrictions and conditions applicable to the holder of a workplace and to those performing the role, pursuant to an authorization such as a license or permit, or without one, in order to ensure professionalism at work and to maintain safety, health and hygiene in the workplace, as well as to set a maximum or minimum price that may be charged for a service provided by someone who has received authorization to perform work, to perform an inspection and supervision role, or to provide professional training. Necessary conditions may also be set within the authorization itself, and in the event of a real concern and urgent need to establish provisions that were not known at the time the Regulations were enacted, the Minister or chief inspector may issue urgent instructions to a particular category of authorization holders by publication in the Official Gazette and on the internet. In addition, the Regulations may establish fees for granting authorization, for examinations required for authorization, and for supervision by the Ministry under the Safety at Work Ordinance and under the Organization of Labor Inspection Law. The Law also establishes provisions relating to the granting of authorization, including regarding objection to and appeal of decisions on granting, suspending and revoking authorization, publication of the list of authorization holders, and the laws applicable to public officials that will apply to a holder of authorization to perform an inspection and supervision role.
