Can you clarify who can demand access to a workplace without prior notification?

Question: We wish to provide a short summary to our reception staff on rights of entry in relation to the following people:

  • health and safety inspectors;
  • Fair Work Inspectors;
  • union delegates or representatives; and
  • any other person purporting to have authorisation.

Naturally, we are aware that all licences and authorisations should be requested. However, we are unsure who can demand access to the workplace without prior notification.
