Thanks Eek, it's not Sellafield but you make a valid point. I see there's a lot of Sellafield jobs on the boards recently that are explicitly inside IR35. That casts a little doubt on my ltd model but there are plenty of other opportunities to work for them indirectly through the second tier.Comment

I don't think its unreasonable or all that unusual in certain fields. I would be double checking with my IR35 insurance people but doubt they would take issue with it.
Its a personal decision for you to make if you want to do it or not.Comment

£450-500/day outside IR35 at Sellafield would make it worth my while with a 2.5 hour journey each way (I'd stay over the four nights), but with no expenses, that's a hell of a bottom line change.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Another dull story about rules that apply to people in the "office" as well as those at other locations:
I've done some work for clients in the construction industry. On their sites, they insist that all powered vehicles are reverse parked. The main reason is that for lorries it is essential safety to reverse park cause the driver can then see clearly when they are pulling out.
Apply the rule to everyone on every site, even those where there are no lorries and you have a corporate safety policy. It's nothing to do with IR35, trying to exclude people, etc. It's their safety policy.
We don't have all the facts from the OP as to who the client is, but we're aware it's in the nuclear industry and requires security clearance. It is possible that the client has policies in place across all sites. We don't know.
The OP is a contractor. If they do not want to agree to a client request then they need to look for another role. They are not an employee.
They do not have "rights".
They are a business wanting to supply services to clients.
The client is not rejecting them. The client has made requests, and if the OP decides to reject those requests, then the OP has decided to rule themselves out of working for that client.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

When you want people offsite - you want them offsite as quickly as humanly possible - reversing adds time you may not have.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

I reckon an explosion would move them quite quickly off site. Possibly upwards, rather than along the ground.
But yes, your point (and mine) are possibly very valid to the OP. For safety reasons businesses put rules in place. If other businesses think the rules must not be applied to them, then that is their choice.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

"What if the fire is stopping us exiting our office?"
"Then feel free to follow my desk and I through this window" came the exasperated reply.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
