        (b)     the suitability of a person to be licensed to handle dangerous substances, including—

              (i)     the knowledge, experience and training of the person; and

              (ii)     the testing or examination of a person to decide whether the person is, or continues to be, a suitable person to hold a licence; and

        (c)     the suitability of premises (including vehicles) in relation to a licence; and

        (d)     the kinds of licences that may be issued and the authority given to a licensee by a particular kind of licence; and

        (f)     the creation and publication of registers in relation to licences; and

        (g)     authorising a person to handle a prohibited dangerous substance or controlled dangerous substance for research, education or any other purpose.

Note     An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).

    (2)     The regulations may also provide the circumstances in which a licence or other form of authority (however described) to handle a dangerous substance under a corresponding law authorises a person to handle the dangerous substance in the ACT.
