(Past version on 01/07/2002).
(Past version on 13/02/1998).

For the saving and transitional provisions relating to the amendments made by
the Resolution of the Legislative Council (L.N. 130 of 2007), see paragraph
(12) of that Resolution. Secretary for Transport and Housing may direct
inspector to investigate (L.N. 130 of 2007)

(1) Where an accident or occurrence which is notifiable under this Regulation
has occurred, the Secretary for Transport and Housing may direct an inspector
to investigate the accident or occurrence.

(2) The paramount purpose of such an investigation is to determine the
circumstances and causes of the accident or occurrence with a view to avoiding
similar accidents or occurrences in the future, rather than to ascribe blame
to any person.

(3) The Secretary for Transport and Housing may in place of any inspector
directed to carry out an investigation under subsection (1) direct another
inspector to proceed with the investigation, and in that case the
investigation may be continued as if the change had not occurred.

(4) The inspector shall, on completion of an investigation, make a report to
the Secretary for Transport and Housing who shall cause the contents thereof
to be published in such manner as he thinks fit.

(5) A report shall state the circumstances of the accident or occurrence and
conclusions as to its cause and any observations and recommendations which the
inspector thinks necessary for the avoidance of similar accidents or
occurrences. (L.N. 106 of 2002; L.N. 130 of 2007)
