OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY ACT 2000 - SECT 72

72 Receipt for things taken

(1) As soon as reasonably practicable after an inspector takes a thing under section 60, the inspector must give a receipt for it to the person from whom it was taken.

(2) However, if for any reason it is not practicable to comply with subsection (1), the inspector must leave the receipt in a conspicuous position and in a reasonably secure way at the place where the thing was taken.

(3) The receipt must describe generally each thing taken and its condition.

(4) This section does not apply to a thing if it is impracticable or would be unreasonable to give the receipt required by this section (given the thing’s nature, condition and value).
