170 Places used for residential purposes
Despite anything else in this Division, the powers of an inspector
under this Division in relation to entering a place are not exercisable
in relation to any part of a place that is used only for residential
purposes except:
(a) with the consent of the person with management or control of
the place; or
(b) under the authority conferred by a search warrant; or
(c) for the purpose only of gaining access to a suspected
workplace, but only:
(i) if the inspector reasonably believes that no reasonable
alternative access is available; and
(ii) at a reasonable time having regard to the times at which
the inspector believes work is being carried out at the
place to which access is sought.
