The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has updated its guidance on registered building inspectors to include details about what constitutes a conflict of interest.
HSE specifies that registered building inspectors must not undertake work, or continue to undertake work, where a conflict of interest is identified.
A conflict of interest can include:
- political: such as holding the position of councillor in the area a registered building inspector is allocated to complete a building project;
- financial: such as ownership in a company a registered building inspector is called to inspect;
- relationships: such as completing or contributing to Building Control work with friends or relatives;
- personal: such as a registered building inspector not wanting a certain type of building near their home.
