You must not deliberately get in the way of people who are doing their job under this law. This includes engineers, overseers, employees, or anyone else who has the legal right to do work under the Public Works Act. If you stop these people from doing their duties or their lawful work, you are breaking the law. This is called an offence against the Act.
