Clause 29
Power to require medical examination, etc.
(1)
Where an investigator believes on reasonable grounds that the medical examination of an individual who is directly or indirectly involved in the operation of a transport vehicle involved in a transport occurrence is, or may be, relevant to the investigation, the investigator may, by written notice, require the individual to submit to a medical examination with a medical practitioner.
(2)
Where an investigator believes on reasonable grounds that the performance of an autopsy on the body of a deceased, or the carrying out of other medical examinations of human remains, is, or may be, relevant to the conduct of the investigation, the investigator may cause such an autopsy or a medical examination to be performed.
(3)
The power of an investigator under subsection (2) to cause such an autopsy or a medical examination to be performed includes the power to require, by written notice —
the person having custody of the body of the deceased or other human remains to permit the performance of that autopsy or medical examination; and
the autopsy report or medical examination report to be given to the investigator.
(4)
However, the requirement under subsection (1) that an individual submit to a medical examination does not extend to a requirement that the individual submit to any procedure involving surgery or the injection into the body of any drug, but includes requiring the individual to undergo a breath‑analyser test or a toxicological examination or to provide blood or urine for a laboratory test.
