When a staff member is searching you, they are not allowed to use physical force unless they think it is necessary to keep you or someone else safe from a serious and immediate risk. They must have a good reason to believe that using force is the only way to avoid this risk. If they do use force, they must use the least amount of force possible.

If a staff member uses force during a search, it must be because they are trying to protect you or someone else from harm, and they must not use more force than they need to. This rule applies to searches that are allowed under section 384C or section 384E. The staff member's main goal is to keep everyone safe.
