Regulation 5 provides for the exercise of a power of entry by authorised persons for the purposes of a joint inspection.

Regulation 11 provides that a person obstructing the exercise of a power or failing to comply with requirements made under regulations 5, 6, 7 and 8 shall be guilty of an offence. Section 3(1)(f) of the Act provides for the creation of offences punishable on summary conviction by a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale.
