Disclaimer

1. Documents are templates only

All documents provided by GetSiteDocs are template frameworks designed to give you a structured starting point. They contain generic content, example entries, and blank fields that must be completed with information specific to your work activity, site, personnel, and circumstances.

A document downloaded from GetSiteDocs is not a completed, site-specific Risk Assessment or Method Statement until a competent person has reviewed it, filled in all relevant sections, and confirmed that it accurately reflects the hazards, controls, and working methods applicable to the task in question.

2. Review by a competent person is required

Under UK health and safety law, including the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, employers and self-employed persons are required to carry out suitable and sufficient risk assessments. The preparation, review, and signing off of a risk assessment or method statement must be carried out by, or under the supervision of, a competent person: someone with sufficient training, experience, and knowledge to understand the risks involved in the work.

GetSiteDocs does not assess whether you, your employees, or your colleagues are competent to complete or use these documents. That is your responsibility.

3. Suitability is the buyer's responsibility

Whether a document template is suitable for your particular work activity, industry, site conditions, or legal obligations is entirely your responsibility to assess before use. GetSiteDocs makes no warranty that any document is appropriate for any specific task, trade, or circumstance.

Different types of work carry different risks and may be subject to specific regulations, approved codes of practice, or industry guidance that are not reflected in a general template. You must ensure that any completed document meets the requirements of all applicable legislation and any client or principal contractor requirements before submitting or relying on it.

4. No liability for loss or injury

GetSiteDocs, its owner, and its contributors accept no liability whatsoever for any loss, injury, damage, penalty, fine, prosecution, or other consequence arising from:

• the use or misuse of any document purchased from this website;
• any error, omission, or inaccuracy in a template document;
• reliance on a document that has not been properly reviewed and adapted;
• the failure of a document to satisfy a client, regulator, or other party;
• any work carried out in connection with a completed or uncompleted document.

5. Not a substitute for professional advice

Nothing on this website, and none of the documents available for purchase, constitutes professional health and safety consultancy, legal advice, or any other regulated professional service. If you are unsure whether your work activities require specialist safety advice, you should consult a qualified health and safety professional or contact the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) directly.

6. Governing law

This disclaimer is governed by the law of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from it shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
