Poxi, you are on the right track with your thoughts. Absolutely stick to it. Ask yourself this question, when a plumber comes to install a new tap for you, does he care what compliance measures you have set up at your house? He will stick to his plumbing industry guidelines. Same applies here.
Say no, tell them you are not an employee and a service provider and engage your lawyer to take this further.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

Health and safety briefings are often mandatory for every contractor including builders, cleaners and just day visitors entering a industrial site, so if it's mandatory for everybody don't worry.
Banks and other regulated industries won't let you start until you have done their compliance crap wouldn't worry about that eitherComment

Double repeat condescension....all we need now is for someone to tell you to "speak to your accountant" or "use google to find your answer" or tell you "you're really not cut out for this contracting gig" and we'd have a full house at CUK bingoComment

My feeling is that this would adversely affect my working outside IR35 status so I'm refusing.
Does anyone have any thoughts on whether I should capitulate and take it or stick to my guns.
Thanks
Incidentally you would be "declining" the invitation, not "refusing".

How the hell will anyone know?
I did attend a Health & Safety Induction when I started at my last place. How the hell will they know anyway?
I didn't sign anything to say I attended it... was easier to just do it and not make a fuss.
Is that bad practice? But more importantly, how will anyone know?Comment

If a plumber were to turn up to a professional building site he will have to abide by their H&S guidelines and other compliance requirements. And that may well involve 'training', even if that's just a 20 minute video on how not to be stupid on site. If he 'politely declines' he's not allowed on site. End of.See You Next TuesdayComment
