(4) The warrant contemplated in subsection (1) may only be issued by a judge or a magistrate if it appears from the information given by the railway safety inspector under oath or affirmation that— (a) there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that a contravention of the Act has occurred or is occurring; (b) a search of the premises is likely to yield information pertaining to the alleged contravention; and the search is reasonably necessary for the purposes of enforcing the Act. (c) (5) The warrant contemplated in subsection (1) must— (a) (b) identify the premises that may be entered and searched; and specify the parameters within which the railway safety inspector may perform an entry, search or seizure. (6) The warrant contemplated in subsection (1) may be executed only during the hours of 08h00 and 17h00 of a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, unless the judge or the magistrate who issued the warrant authorises that it may be executed at any other time that is reasonable in the circumstances. (7) The warrant contemplated in subsection (1) is valid only until— (a) (b) (c) (d) the warrant is executed; the warrant is cancelled by the person who issued it or, in that person’s absence, by a person with similar authority; the purpose for which it was issued, has elapsed; or the expiry of one month after the date when it was issued, whichever occurs ﬁrst. (8) A railway safety inspector who conducts an inspection in terms of this section may be accompanied and assisted by one or more police officers.

(11) Before using force in terms of subsection (10), a police officer must audibly demand admission or access and must announce the purpose of entry, unless it is reasonable to believe that doing so may induce someone to destroy, dispose of or conceal an article, document or record that forms part of the search or is otherwise relevant to the search.

§ 64No. 51731Offence

Railway safety inspectors must advise people of their legal-practitioner right before questioning them, and operators must secure the scene after a railway occurrence.

64 No. 51731 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10 DEcEMbER 2024 Act No.30 of 2024 Railway Safety Act, 2024 64 (2) A railway safety inspector or a police officer who is assisting a railway safety inspector in terms of section 44(8) for purposes of entering or searching premises under sections 43 and 44 must, before questioning anyone— (a) advise the person to be questioned of the right to be assisted at the time by a legal practitioner, as well as of his or her rights contemplated in subsection (3); and (b) allow that person a reasonable opportunity to exercise those rights. (3) A person questioned by a railway safety inspector must answer each question to the best of his or her ability, but such person is not required to answer any question if the answer may be self-incriminating. (4) A railway safety inspector must, prior to questioning a person in terms of subsection (1), in the presence of that person, in writing, record the date, time and place, and the name of that person, who has been advised of his or her rights in accordance with subsection (2)(a). Powers of railway safety inspector to deal with unsafe conditions 47. (1) Subject to subsection (3), if the railway safety inspector has good reason to believe that a condition or activity is a threat or might be a threat to safe railway operations, the railway safety inspector may submit a written report to the affected operator, stating the reasons for believing that the condition or activity is a threat or might be a threat to safe railway operations, and allow the operator a reasonable opportunity to respond to the report. (2) If the railway safety inspector is not satisﬁed with the response from the operator or if the operator fails to respond to the report, the railway safety inspector may, in writing, issue a directive— 5 10 15 20 (a) restricting or suspending that condition or activity, or the railway operation itself; 25 (b) placing a condition on the continuation of that activity; or (c) specifying what action must be taken within a speciﬁed time by that person to remove the threat. (3) If there is a threat to safe railway operations that poses an immediate or imminent risk of serious danger to persons, property or the environment, the railway safety inspector may, despite subsections (1) and (2), after engaging orally with the operator or a person who ostensibly is in charge of the relevant premises or rolling stock, issue a directive, in writing, as contemplated in subsection (2). (4) Subject to section 57(3), any person who fails or refuses to comply with a directive within the period speciﬁed in the directive, is guilty of an offence, unless an appeal has been lodged in terms of subsection (5), which has not yet been ﬁnalised. (5) Any person who is aggrieved by a directive issued in terms of subsection (3), may 30 35 lodge an appeal contemplated in section 54. (6) An appeal lodged as contemplated in subsection (5) does not prevent a person 40 from obtaining urgent relief from a competent court of law. (7) A railway safety inspector may issue compliance notices and penalties contemplated in section 67. RAILWAY OCCURRENCE REPORTING AND INVESTIGATIONS 45 CHAPTER 7 Railway occurrence 48.
