paul44 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 As a self employed engineer, with no NSI membership, can I subcontract for NSI gold companies or do I have to join the club? I have worked for many years at NSI gold firms so I know all the standards we have to work to.

matthew.brough Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 No such thing. You are free to sub who you want to without anything www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/36612-sub-contractors/#findComment-379287 Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul44 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 for the fast reply Matt. Does that mean a Gold firm can use subbys who arnt registered with NSI?

BUSTER Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 But with NSI you are restricted to what you can do Any comments / opinions posted are my opinion only and do not represent those of my employer or Company Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/36612-sub-contractors/#findComment-379291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew.brough Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 for the fast reply Matt. Does that mean a Gold firm can use subbys who arnt registered with NSI? Nsi don't offer certification schemes for subbys or any engineers full stop therefore you are free to work for any Nsi or SSAIB firm however the work you do must be done so that the approved firm doesn't fall foul of the rules for example you would have to make sure the systems you installed for the Nsi firm met current standards and any codes of practice Nsi issue.I believe Nsi might have something in their cop that they might not let you do but all in all no real restriction. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/36612-sub-contractors/#findComment-379294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUSTER Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Don't use them, but know they can't do handovers Any comments / opinions posted are my opinion only and do not represent those of my employer or Company Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/36612-sub-contractors/#findComment-379295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew.brough Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Not sure if signalling another thing but as that's an Nsi cop rather than a standard I don't have the restriction in SSAIB land and let subbies connect signalling and do handovers www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/36612-sub-contractors/#findComment-379298 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 We do very little if any subbing anymore but in the past have installed/commissioned/serviced/connected signalling/hand over plenty of systems. But I did work for that company on the cards for several years so it's not like I was an unknown. Oddly, we just picked up a job for them next week - first one this year.

BUSTER Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 But if they are NSI they should only use NSI companies as subcontractors, and shouldn't allow you to do the work you have stated whether you have worked for them in the past or not Any comments / opinions posted are my opinion only and do not represent those of my employer or Company Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/36612-sub-contractors/#findComment-379311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
