    No water at client's site?

    Hello - first time contractor, first time poster.

    The water has gone at my client's site (burst pipe) - do I have any HSE rights?

    There are currently, no toilets, running water, coffee (the machines are plumbed in...)...

    I've no idea. Though was there anything in particular you were hoping for? Day off?

      Get a lawyer involved and sue.

        Just WFH or write the day off. You are a representative of another business on the clients site, not an employee.

                This.

                Definitely.

                  You have grounds to say "sod this I'm leaving" if they don't provide toilets but that's about it surely?

                    Rights? Eh? You're a contractor. You have the right to turn up and get paid. You also have the right to not turn up and not get paid.
