Clauses for Clients/Users
Users of the Register are asked to note the following:-
- Any Assessors whose details appear on the Register have been required to complete an application form and provide examples of previous work carried out by them in their particular field. A panel appointed by the Institution then reviews samples of Assessors' work and, if these are satisfactory to the Institution (following interview if considered necessary), the Assessor is admitted to the Register. Assessors provide one or more references to the Institution. However, the Institution does not, and is not able to, visit premises in respect of which the Assessors have provided advice to verify the suitability and veracity of work carried out by Assessors.
- The User's contract will be with the Assessor and not with the Institution. The Institution simply seeks to set out a basis for assessing the ability to advise, but cannot evaluate or assess the suitability of any advice in relation to any particular premises, given that no agent or employee of the Institution will have been involved in any kind of site survey nor have any knowledge of any premises or operations in respect of which an Assessor is asked to advise.
- Accordingly, it is the responsibility of the User to evaluate the suitability of any Assessor for the selected task, whether assessing risk to people, buildings, business continuity or any combination of these. It is also the responsibility of Users to satisfy themselves as regards any Assessor's professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover.
- Use of the Register [this Site] is conditional upon the User accepting and confirming the above.
