14. Any inspector appointed under this Act and any member of the Sûreté du Québec, if he has reason to believe a contravention to this Act has been committed in the carrying out of work contemplated by it, may order the immediate stoppage of work; he must notify the Régie du bâtiment of the fact without delay.
A person to whom such an order is notified without prior notice because, in the opinion of the inspector or member of the Sûreté du Québec, urgent action is required or there is a danger of irreparable damage being caused, may, within the time specified in the order, present observations so that the order may be reviewed by an inspector.
