HSE covid spot check
« on: January 28, 2021, 10:44:46 am »
I’ve just had a representative for the Health & Safety Executive at my door, apparently they are doing spot checks on businesses to verify they are complying with government guidance to ensure that businesses are Covid secure. Any one else had a visit?

That's crazy that they came to your house, what did they check for and were you compliant or are there measures they have suggested?

The guy asked if I have continued to work, I told him I had and that I work on my own and outside in the open air. TBH after I told him this he only asked for my phone number, then he went back into his car to fill in some paperwork. As they are only working in partnership with the HSE I think it’s more of a box ticking exercise, of course there may be more questions asked for those working in an indoor environment.

Just done a wee bit more digging, the company the HSE have appointed to carry out the spot checks in this area are called Resolvecall Ltd,  and they are a debt collection company😲. That will get the neighbours talking🤣🤣

I decided to go out to his car when he was filling out paperwork as I was a bit sceptical, this is what he showed me.

Just sounds like a survey that. I'd of told him he is supposed to work from home if possible and he could of rang. If he knocked on mine he'd be on You Tube by now  ;D

Well spotted!

I reckon he was trying to retrieve any grants that you've had.
It's a good job that you were at home ;D.
