(2) If there is no medical practitioner present to attend the employee at the hospital, the blood or urine sample must be taken by a registered nurse.

(4) A requirement under subclause (1) may be made through a medical practitioner or nurse who attends a transport safety employee at the hospital, rather than directly to the employee.
