    Wouldn't worry about that. Highly unlikely to ever be mentioned in an enquiry.

      Unless it says For Employees only - should be OK. Health and safety covers everyone on site - employees and visitors alike.

        Everyone is covered by the Health and Safety at Work Act just like with the various discrimination acts, so it has no reflection on IR35.

          And we mean everyone

          This is how burglers can sue companies if they get injured while breaking in to your premises. Visitors do not have to be invited or be there on company business - well fact is stanger then fiction.

            Yep - it's my plan C. Turn up at places uninvited, trip over in reception, claim for compensation. Beats coding for a living

              Would that work in a Police Station reception area?

                and - IR35 is about how the contracted work is done. For IT contractors, health and safety is peripheral to that (it's a different story if you're a building contractor of course).

                It would take a very hardline tax inspector to point out how your escape from a burning office would be "directed and controlled" by a fire warden and a set of glow-in-the-dark signs.

                  maybe i should give up my day job and try to be a rogue and say steal from fruit shops at night but "accidentally" slip on that banana skin and then wait for the compensation cheques to flood in
