The obligation
Operators that contract out cash-in-transit work must ensure the sub-contractor works safely and in line with the Code.
Either the contractor or sub-contractor must carry out a job-specific risk assessment and share its findings with all stakeholders. For an urgent one-off job, a risk assessment must be done before the job is accepted or started, setting the risk level and how to eliminate or control it. Sub-contractors should keep a written record of who requested the work, the dates, and the nature of the work, including the cash route and value.
