shall ascertain that the employee has consented to the transfer, and that his consent has not been obtained by coercion, undue influence or as the result of misrepresentation or mistake; and

may require the employee to be medically examined or re-examined, as the case may be, by a medical practitioner in any case in which by such transfer the employee —

(i)

will change his form of employment; or

will be subject to such change in conditions of his employment as in the opinion of the Commissioner renders the examination advisable.
