been compliance with or a contravention of this Act and the regulations,
(b)
for obtaining information or records for purposes connected with the
administration of this Act and the regulations,
(c) generally for
administering this Act and the regulations.

part of this Act, subject to the following modifications--

prosecution of a person for an offence against a provision of Part 9 of the
WHS Act (as applying under this section) is to be taken as if the offence were
an offence against this Act.
(5) If an authorised officer
has functions in relation to a matter under both Part 9 of the WHS Act (as
applying under this section) and under any other provision of this Act, the

does not of itself operate to restrict the exercise by an authorised officer
of any similar or the same function under Part 9 of the WHS Act.
