Other Gear.

(a) The safe-working load for any cargo gear for which a safe-working load is not otherwise provided by these regulations shall be such as is, upon the application of the owner of the gear, fixed or approved by the Chief Surveyor of Ships.

(b) In fixing a safe-working load under this regulation the Chief Surveyor shall have regard to the material, workmanship, design, dimensions, purpose, and intended use of the gear, and to all other relevant considerations, and shall, as far as may be, employ in his computations the factor of safety employed in computing the safe-working load (if any) prescribed by these regulations for gear of a similar character.

(c) A safe-working load may be so fixed either in respect of a single piece of gear or generally in respect of gear of a defined kind.

(d) Nothing in this regulation shall require the Chief Surveyor of Ships to fix a safe-working load for any gear which by reason of its material, workmanship, design, dimensions, or otherwise is in his opinion inherently unsafe for use in working cargo.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
