### sec.95 Access to premises etc. For enforcing this part against an employer, the registrar may give an enforcement officer written authority to exercise powers under this section. The enforcement officer may not exercise powers under this section unless the enforcement officer first produces the written authority for inspection by the employer and an identity card. The powers the enforcement officer has under this section are as follows— power, at all reasonable times, to enter premises of an employer, other than premises used exclusively as a residence, and remain on the premises for the time reasonably necessary to exercise powers under this section; power to inspect or examine any business records relevant to the employer’s obligations under this Act on the employer’s premises; power to make copies of, or take extracts from, any document the enforcement officer considers is reasonably necessary for ensuring compliance with this Act; power to require the occupier of the premises to give the enforcement officer reasonable help to exercise a power mentioned in paragraph (a) , (b) or (c) . A person required under subsection (3) (d) to give an officer reasonable help must comply with the request, unless the person has a reasonable excuse for not doing so. Maximum penalty—20 penalty units. To the extent reasonable help required by an enforcement officer would involve the production of a document or the giving of information, it is a reasonable excuse for the purposes of subsection (4) that the production of the document or the giving of the information would tend to incriminate the person.
