21 On‑site inspection warrants

(1) If the occupier of premises in an inspection area does not consent to an Organization inspector entering the premises and exercising on‑site inspection powers as mentioned in subsection 11(2), a national inspector must, as soon as possible, apply to a magistrate for an on‑site inspection warrant in relation to the premises. (2) A magistrate may issue an on‑site inspection warrant in relation to the premises if the magistrate is satisfied, by information on oath or affirmation, that it is reasonably necessary to exercise on‑site inspection powers for an on‑site inspection purpose. (3) If the magistrate does so, the national inspector must execute the warrant in a way that accords with all lawful directions given by the Organization inspector.
