Sample-taking powers under labour safety rules allow inspection, sealing, testing, and evidentiary use of laboratory reports. An Inspector-cum-Facilitator may take samples of articles or substances used or intended to be used in an establishment after informing the employer, where the use is believed to contravene the Code or is likely to injure employees. The sample must be divided into three portions, sealed and marked in the presence of the informed person, with one portion given to that person, one sent for analysis to a Government Analyst or NABL-accredited laboratory, and one retained for court proceedings. The analyst's report may be used as evidence.
