Comment

Risk assessment of my home - NO! It really is nothing to do with my employer if I have anything risky in my house. What if the risk assessor gets injured because I have replaced all the fuses in my house with sections of 6-inch nail (okay, slightly strained analogy, but work with it)? The company is going to try to make me liable, and so I would refuse access.

Contractual right-to-enter clauses? I'm not sure they exist, and I'm really not sure that they would be upheld in court.

This... sounds like one of the reasons I decided not to become a practicing lawyer - full of panicky hot air that might lead to more billable hours ...
