We are a manufacturing factory, and the building is not owned by us. We currently have a very good contractor approval process which work pretty well so far. Our landlord has advised us that a contractor will be visiting us in a few weeks to inspect our roof, which will involve them going on to a fragile roof.
I know exactly what I am required to do if I was bringing the contractor in to do the work, approval, risk assessment etc, but Im unsure as to what I am required to do in the landlord has contracted the guys to do the work?
I would feel better asking the landlord about the contractor competencies, how they are going to access the roof and ultimately what they are doing to provent their guys from falling off our roof etc.
All advice welcome

I am open to correction but all legal liability should lie with the Landlord as they have retained the contractor and it is their premises.

Ciaran is right about the legal aspects, but I would still want a preliminary discussion with the contractor to sort out access arrangements and to be sure that they will not either disturb your processes or come to grief because of your processes while on site. An exchange of assessment information is still a requirement of the MHSW Regs,
