Throw the question back to the people who said you should. Ask them for the how? If they say you should, they will know how and what to ask! I can assure my clients that I have 'small traders' insurance and I take care not to go beyond its limitation (height working and 'flames' indoors - on the rare occasions if I need to do soldering it do it outside and then connect in with compression joints sort of thing) William Waddilove (Coventry Meeting premises etc and HLD Maintenance Services) On Tue, 7 May 2024 at 20:03, Westminster Wardens < westminsterwardens@gmail.com> wrote:
May I ask, please, what you all do about checking that contractors are properly insured, have done H&S risk assessments, are properly trained on their equipment, etc?
A recent H&S survey we've had done has asked us to do some of these checks when we have contractors in, but we are wondering what will suffice, and how deep we have to go. Any information on how you all manage this would be appreciated!
In friendship, Lorna.
