It all depends on the purchase contract between youselves and / or the site's safety procedures. However you must agree this beforehand.
As the contractor "user", would you trust a rusty eye bolt that the site says is "Ok".? Do you want to see the test cert? Would you prefer to create your own using scaffolding etc?
Most absailing teams I have seen create their oun fixing points onto RSJs.
Visit the site and discuss, If you can't get an answer price to provide them.
Don't assume anything.

Peter
