Good afternoon Tony,
Following up on the supposedly visit here at (site name), I do apologise as I wasn’t aware of the centre regulation regarding contractors coming in after hours. I have raised this with the centre management and fortunately we are able to persuade them into allowing us, just this once, to not have a security guard whilst on site. The only condition is that all contractors who will access the centre must be (company name) inducted. I am aware that only James is inducted so we will need you to be inducted as well.
It will be an online induction which I can assist you by getting one of our colleagues in the head office to send you the induction link.
As soon as we secure the induction, we can then set the site visit on Friday 16/06/17 at 2230. I will make sure to be on site that night so we can get at the bottom of this together.
To which my response was;

Good morning Paolo.
I have reluctantly completed the induction as demanded by (company name). Hopefully I will now be allowed to enter the premises and observe the operation of the buffer. I am now inducted to (company name) sites for a period of two years which is ridiculous as I will only be making the one visit in all probability. I am a massive supporter of safety in the work place, but in this instance we will be observing only, no work will be carried out and no tools will be used and therefore no permits will be required. Considering we, the owner and staff of Specialised Mechanical Services, are initiating this visit to assist the client at no charge to either the client or the contractor I see this overofficiousness as ridiculous and obstructive. At the end of the day however as I am now inducted can we please proceed at 2230 this coming Friday 16/06/2017.
I should add that my existing accreditations already allow me access to most mine sites in WA, some ADF sites and Rail and transport sites and workshops. not good enough for an inspection after hours as this place though. :blowup:
