FAQ

What happens if I don't do a risk assessment before the check-up?

You should do a risk assessment before booking the service. This is to ensure that the check-up is done correctly, provides the right certificate and is not done unnecessarily. We do not check whether a risk assessment has been carried out or not, but book the service regardless.
