Unregistering a work machine

Application for unregistration

If a work machine is taken out of use, temporarily or permanently, it must be deregistered. You apply by pressing the "Apply" button here above.  

During the deregistration process, you must provide a reason for the deregistration.  

Temporary deregistration 

Temporary deregistration may be if a machine:  

  • is not in use 

  • is in storage 

  • is broken or awaiting repair 

  • is sent out of the country on a temporary assignment 

  • cannot be found 

 Machines that are temporarily deregistered can be re-registered. You need to contact the customer service of the Administration of Occupational Safety and Health. 

Final deregistration 

Final deregistration can be if a machine is:  

  • sold out of the country 

  • discarded or sold for scrap 

  • used for spare parts 

Machines that are permanently deregistered can be re-registered. They must be checked by an inspector from the Administration of Occupational Safety and Health before re-registration is possible.
