Section 31(1)(f) can be used to require statements but when invoked in the course of investigating possible offences it must be read and exercised consistently with the right to silence; 'conditions' in s 31(1)(f) is confined to the narrower meaning relating to physical conditions, materials and equipment that affect safety, the inspector must give adequate specific notice of the matters, purpose and allegations to enable informed legal advice and exercise of privilege, and the power does not permit compelling a non-employer director (Mr Bull) to attend as the company's representative.
