lesson... do not sign anything unless you have done it yourself and are satisfied that you can put your name to it.

but was your signature on the forms?

 

[Benjamiin]

Yep in black and white! Pre printed test forms on the van!

So basically you have give the firm free run of your liability, with no protection for yourself?

The timing of events and communications with your boss will be important. I would make your own accurate notes as to how you got into this situation, but do not share them on any public forum!

I doubt a letter from work will help. The only sort of letter that will work is one where they accept liability for the abuse of your pre-printed signature. I don't think you'll ever get such a letter because it drops them in the ----.

I would write your boss a letter 'reminding' him that your signature cannot be used until you have inspected the work, and ask that all pre-printed forms be withdrawn from service.

Good luck.

when i tested for a boss of mine , i had 2391 etc but was only apprentice, i never signed the forms, and i could see when i handed him them, he noticed but said nothing. but he put his results into a package from niceic and it confirmed results even tho i could tell by looking at them if something was obviously wrong... the whole lot a load of poo. the only downside i see is what way someone installed something... and you wernt there and therefor the boss still used your name..

i'd be stepping down as QS rather sharpish instead of letting a company of incompetents sign off everything under my name.

Pre-printed signatures on test certificates should never be allowed in the first place, these are official documents. Doing so, opens the doors to all sorts of miss-use and forgeries. Signatures should always be hand written in blue ink, (or perhaps a company preferred colour).

If I was the gaffer I'd want the signatures in blood !!! :devil:

Anyone know why the OP deleted his original enquiry ?
maybe the feds tracked him down

I think he has realised his company has put him in a potentially very sticky situation!!
Unfortunately you can't trust anyone these day's, least of all your own employer, if they are out to make a buck.

With regards to the pre signed documents if it is a photocopy of the signature then its not legal my understanding is it must be made by a pen
