#### 28 Making records available
(1) A titleholder must make available, in accordance with this regulation, copies of the records mentioned in regulation 27.
Penalty: 30 penalty units.
(1A) An offence against subregulation (1) is an offence of strict liability.
> Note: For strict liability, see section 6.1 of the Criminal Code.
(2) The titleholder must make copies of the records available to any of the following persons, on request in writing by the person:
(a) the Regulator;
(c) a NOPSEMA inspector or a Greater Sunrise visiting inspector.
(3) If the person making the request states that copies of the records be made available to an agent of the person, the titleholder must make the copies available to the agent.
(4) However, if the titleholder:
(b) requests a person who is a NOPSEMA inspector to produce written evidence of the person’s appointment as a NOPSEMA inspector; or
(c) requests a person who is a Greater Sunrise visiting inspector to produce written evidence of the person’s appointment as a Greater Sunrise visiting inspector; or

(b) in any other case—during normal business hours on a business day in the place where the records are kept.
(6) The copies of the records must be made available at the place where the records are kept or, if agreed between the titleholder and the person making the request (or the person’s agent), at any other place (including by means of electronic transmission to the person or agent at that place).
(7) If the records are stored on a computer, the records must be made available in print‑out form or, if the titleholder and the Regulator so agree, in electronic form.
