Power to require assistance from a person on premises

158.Paragraph 10 of schedule 2 is a power available when a Trading Standards officer is visiting or inspecting premises under paragraph 4 or has taken entry under a warrant granted under paragraph 9. While there, the officer can require any person who is on premises to provide the officer with such assistance as the officer reasonably considers necessary. For example, this might involve providing access to locked areas or helping the officer locate and inspect items. A person who fails to help the officer in this way may be committing an offence under section 42.
