Which personnel are prohibited from serving on the board of survey?

The prohibition for certain personnel from serving on the board of survey is primarily focused on maintaining impartiality and avoiding conflicts of interest. Personnel like the Accountable Property Officer (APO), survey officer, Property Administrator (PA), Property Custodian (PC), and the originator of the Report of Survey (ROS) are excluded because their roles may influence the outcome or bias the findings of the survey.

These individuals are often directly involved in the management or oversight of the property being surveyed, which could lead to situations where their interests might unduly affect the board's decisions. By excluding these specific roles, the integrity of the survey process is upheld, ensuring that the evaluation of property loss or damage is conducted fairly and without bias.

This approach aligns with best practices in property management and ensures that the board of survey can function effectively and impartially, generating reliable conclusions regarding property accountability and stewardship.
