AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made on [inspection:inspection_date_agreement]

and is made between:

SCOTT HAYNES of Steersafe Training and Assessment, and

[inspection:customer_representative] of [inspection:provided_for]

The owner/operator agrees to engage Scott Haynes to perform Risk Assessment on the basis of agreement to the following disclaimer.

DISCLAIMER

"Mobile Plant" means the mobile plant, vehicle or equipment described in the assessment and inspected by the assessor.

This assessment is based upon information provided to the assessor up until the date of the assessment. If any modification, alteration or addition is made to the mobile plant following that date, this asessment is null and void and cannot be relied upon for any purpose. In particular, this assessment will then provide no assurance that the mobile plant complies with the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 or any regulation amending or replacing those regulations. The owner and operator of the mobile plant must conduct regular inspections and maintain the mobile plant at regular intervals. If any alteration or addition is made to the mobile plant, such alterations or additions must be recorded in writing and retained by the owner and operator. The mobile plant will then need to be re-assessed.

At all times it is the responsibility of the owner and operator of the mobile plant to maintain the mobile plant according to the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 and all other applicable legislation and regulations. The assessor is not and shall not be liable for the mobile plant complying with the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 or any regulation amending or replacing those regulations. This assessment does not pass any responsibility for such compliance to the assessor, and does not in any way exempt the owner and operator from the continuing responsibility for such compliance. The owner and operator agree to indemnify the assessor against all liability of whatever kind in relation to the mobile plant assessed.

This assessment will be conducted by a qualified workplace assessor. This assessment will not be conducted by a qualified mechanic nor a roadworthy assessor, and no responsibility is assumed by the assessor for any mechanical malfunction of the mobile plant nor lack of roadworthiness.

This assessment identifies risks in relation to the mobile plant only, and does not assess risks in relation to the site where the mobile plant is to be used. A job safety and environmental analysis is required to identify such site risks and should be reviewed by the owner and operator prior to commencement of work on site.  

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND AGREEMENT

I confirm that I have read and understood the disclaimer and notes set out about and agree with all terms

NOTE 

High risk denotes a possible or probable occurrence and possible death, or life threatening injury, or permanent disability without the use of controls.  
Medium risk denotes unlikely or possible occurrence and possible injury without the use of controls. [inspection:page_break]

NOISE ASSESSMENT

The noise level reading shall be taken at exhaust level, and within 1050mm of the exhaust emission. The reading will be taken at idle and at “Engine Speed at Maximum Power”. This procedure is in accordance with the Environment Protection (Vehicle Emissions) Regulations 2003.

A further reading shall then be taken from the cabin of the Plant.

The sound meter used for this assessment is a Digitech QM-1589, Serial No 10060748 in accordance with the Environment Protection (Vehicle Emissions) Regulations 2003.

DISCLAIMER

“Mobile Plant” means the mobile plant, vehicle or equipment described in the assessment and inspected by the assessor.

This assessment is based upon information provided to the assessor up until the date of the assessment. If any modification, alteration or addition is made to the mobile plant following that date, this assessment is null and void and cannot be relied upon for any purpose. In particular, this assessment will then provide no assurance that the mobile plant complies with the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 or any regulation amending or replacing those regulations. The owner and operator of the mobile plant must conduct regular inspections and maintain the mobile plant at regular intervals. If any alteration or addition is made to the mobile plant, such alterations or additions must be recorded in writing and retained by the owner and operator. The mobile plant will then need to be re-assessed.

At all times it is the responsibility of the owner and operator of the mobile plant to maintain the mobile plant according to the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 and all other applicable legislation and regulations. The assessor is not and shall not be liable for the mobile plant complying with the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 or any regulation amending or replacing those regulations. This assessment does not pass any responsibility for such compliance to the assessor, and does not in any way exempt the owner and operator from the continuing responsibility for such compliance. The owner and operator agree to indemnify the assessor against all liability of whatever kind in relation to the mobile plant assessed.

This assessment has been conducted by a qualified workplace assessor. This assessment was not conducted by a qualified mechanic nor a roadworthy assessor, and no responsibility is assumed by the assessor for any mechanical malfunction of the mobile plant nor lack of roadworthiness.

This assessment identifies risks in relation to the mobile plant only, and does not assess risks in relation to the site where the mobile plant is to be used. A job safety and environmental analysis is required to identify such site risks and should be reviewed by the owner and operator prior to commencement of work on site.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ACCEPTANCE

I confirm that I have read and understood the disclaimer and notes set out above and agree with all terms.

I also acknowledge I have received the completed Risk Assessment for the aforementioned Mobile Plant
