507 General powers after entering places (1) This section applies to an inspector who enters a place under this Part. (2) For the purpose of monitoring or enforcing compliance with this Law, the inspector may: (a) search any part of the place; or (b) examine, inspect, photograph or film anything at the place; or (c) copy a document at the place; or (d) take into or onto the place any persons, equipment and materials the inspector reasonably requires for exercising a power under this Part; or (e) require a person in the place to give the inspector reasonable help to exercise the powers referred to in paragraphs (a) – (d). (3) A person required to give reasonable help under subsection (2)(e) must comply with the requirement, unless the person has a reasonable excuse. (4) If the help is required to be given to an inspector by: (a) answering a question; or (b) producing a document, other than a document required to be kept under this Law; it is a reasonable excuse for the person to fail to answer the question, or produce the document, if complying with the requirement might tend to incriminate the person.
