Enforcement officers will
visit premises from time to time to check that controls are being
complied with. The frequency of inspections reflects the risks involved -
high-risk situations are checked often, while low risk situations may
be visited on a less frequent basis.
Enforcement officers have the power to enter
premises to collect information and evidence. An enforcement officer can
issue a compliance order requiring a person:
- to cease doing anything that contravenes the Act or is significantly dangerous
- to do something to ensure compliance, or to remedy the effects of a breach.
An enforcement officer has the power to declare an emergency.
