The Board may, with the approval of the Minister, make regulations for or in respect of every purpose which is considered by the Board necessary for carrying out the provisions of this Act, for the prescribing of any matter which is authorised or required under this Act to be prescribed, and in particular and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, for or in respect of all or any of the matters specified in the Schedule.

The Minister may, from time to time, by notification in the Gazette, add to, alter or amend the Schedule.

Any regulations may, where the circumstances of the case require, empower the Board —
to require the owner or occupier of premises, or any other person having a duty under a regulation, to execute any work or perform any act necessary in the opinion of the Board to secure compliance with the regulation or any other regulation and in default of compliance with such requirement on the part of the owner or occupier or other person, to execute the work or perform the act itself and to recover the expenses and costs incurred by it in or about the execution of the work or the performance of any such act, from the owner, occupier or other person, as the case may be; or
in case of emergency or where the owner or occupier or other person having such duty cannot after due inquiry be found, to execute such work or perform such act itself without first requiring the owner, occupier or such other person to do so, and to recover the expenses and costs incurred by it in or about the execution of the work or the performance of the act from the owner, occupier or other person.
