Ask about people and method
Request relevant practitioner experience, training or memberships, the layered methodology, quality controls and realistic limitations. Verify named claims with the issuing body.
02
Ask about the assignment
A proposal should define spaces, systems, vehicles, access, timing, report format, evidence handling, confidentiality, insurance, travel and price.
03
Watch for warning signs
Be cautious with guaranteed detection, secret proprietary methods that cannot be explained, fear-based sales, copied credentials, no written scope or a price that ignores the size and nature of the site.
Frequently asked
Is there a universal TSCM licence?+
No single global licence proves competence. Requirements and professional frameworks vary by country, so claims must be checked individually.
Should a provider list every instrument?+
Equipment categories and calibration or quality practices can be useful, but a shopping list does not explain how tools are applied or how findings are interpreted.
