Posted By Peter MacDonald Scenario We produce a risk assessment for our employees carrying out site visits for auditing a construction site. Employees read, comment and sign on to the RA and adopt mitigations. So far so good. If the client or client rep wants to come on site to do an audit do they or their employer have to carry out their own RA for their audit or can they sign on our RA even though they are non employees. This is for the sole purpose of audits and inspections rather than being actually involved in site activities. At the end of the day the RA mitigations would be the same as we dictate PPE, access, communications to be used on site. Does it make any difference that the client does not actuall carry out or record their own RA? Hope that makes sense. Peter

Posted By Salus Peter, as long as the ra is "suitable & suffecient" both parties have agreed (I would get some form of signed recorded conformation)to what hazards are present and work to the control control measures yes it would be OK. What you must do if your are in control of the works, ensure the work and procedures are monitored and you enforce safe working practises
