EXPLOSIVES ACT 1875 - SECT 55

Powers of Government inspectors.

55. A Government inspector shall have power to make such examination and
inquiry as may be necessary to ascertain whether this Act is complied with,
and for that purpose

(1)He may enter, inspect, and examine any factory, magazine, or store of any
explosive, and every part thereof, at all times by day and night, but so as
not to unnecessarily impede or obstruct the work in such factory, magazine, or
store, and may make inquiries as to the observance of this Act and all matters
and things relating to the safety of the public or of the persons employed in
or about such factory, magazine, or store; and

(2)He may enter, inspect, and examine any premises registered under this Act,
and every part thereof, in which any explosive is kept, or is reasonably
supposed by him to be kept, at all reasonable times by day; and

(3)He may require the occupier of any factory, magazine, store, or premises
which he is entitled, under this section, to enter, or a person employed by
such occupier therein, to give him samples of any explosive or ingredients of
an explosive therein, or of any substance therein, the keeping of which is
restricted or regulated by this Act, or of any substance therein which the
inspector believes to be an explosive, or such ingredients or substance.

The occupier of every such factory, magazine, store and registered premises,
his agents and servants, shall furnish the means required by the inspector as
necessary for every such entry, inspection, examination, and inquiry.

Any person who fails to permit a Government inspector to enter, inspect,
examine, or make inquiries in pursuance of this section, or to comply with any
requisition of such inspector in pursuance of this section, or who in any
manner obstructs such inspector in the execution of his duties under this Act,
shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding [three hundred pounds or to
imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to both such penalty and
imprisonment].
