Asbestos and OHS&E Services
Reports and documentation are provided for the exclusive use of the Client at the specified time for the specified purpose as outlined in the scope of works. This is because project details such as statutory requirements and site conditions can change with time and may affect our recommendations and conclusions.
Written reports are provided on completion of works giving the details of procedures, field notes and laboratory results. This excludes asbestos works whereby a Certificate of Analysis (for samples) or a Clearance Certificate (for visual clearances) are issued. These reports are based on normally accepted theory and practice and on the limits of information available at that time. Mairin OHS&E Consulting Pty Ltd cannot assume responsibility for the adequacy of its recommendations when they are used in the field without Mairin OHS&E Consulting Pty Ltd being retained to observe their implementation.

Mairin OHS&E Consulting Pty Ltd offer a range of courses. These may be run for the general public or privately in-house for client companies. Where required course content has been, or may be, mapped to the requirements of a third party. This may be a Government Authority, a Registered Training Organisation or a specific client. For example, the current Asbestos Removalist course has been prepared to meet the requirements of Victorian WorkCover Authority. Content of all courses provided is reviewed and approved by the management of Mairin OHS&E Consulting Pty Ltd.
The Mairin OHS&E Consulting Pty Ltd Privacy Policy applies to all student information obtained as part of the course enrollment process.

Credit Card Payments
Credit card payments (Visa or Mastercard only) are accepted without any additional fee.
Cancellations
Mairin OHS&E Consulting Pty Ltd understands that sometimes plans don’t always work out the way you want. For this reason we try to be as flexible as possible with scheduling work. However, Mairin OHS&E Consulting Pty Ltd does reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee. If you do need to cancel a project, or training course, we ask that you give us as much notice as possible so that we can find alternative activities for our staff.
Cancellation fees may be calculated in the following manner:
- Cancellation of general works with less than 24 hours notice: the lesser of the quoted project cost or minimum 4 hour charge. If works have already commenced you will also be liable for all expenses incurred to the time of cancellation.
- Cancellation by a client of a complete training course with less than 5 working days notice: 15% of quoted course cost
- Non-attendance by a participant at a training course with less than 5 working days notice 50% of the course fee.
- Where a participant fails to complete a course, payment in full is still required to be made. If the participant re-enrolls for the next course, payment already made will be taken into account for the fees of that next course.
Any changes to the above calculation of cancellation fees will be at discretion of Mairin OHS&E Consulting Pty Ltd Management.
Payment Defaults
In the event of a Client being in default of their obligation to pay, Mairin OHS&E Consulting Pty Ltd reserves the right to add a $5.00 Administration Fee every calendar month to cover the costs of reclaiming the funds. Should the account need to be referred to a debt collection agency and/or law firm for collection, the Client shall be liable for the full recovery costs incurred. If the agency charges commission on a contingency basis the Client shall be liable to pay as a liquidated debt, the commission payable by the Supplier to the agency, fixed at the rate charged by the agency from time to time as if the agency has achieved one hundred percent recovery. In the event where the Supplier or the Supplier’s agency refers the overdue account to a lawyer, the Client shall also pay as a liquidated debt the charges reasonably made or claimed by the lawyer on the indemnity basis.
Acceptance of Terms and Conditions of Engagement
