About our competent person support service.
Firstly, what is a competent person in the eyes of the Health and Safety Executive.
A competent person is someone who has sufficient training and experience or knowledge and other qualities that allow them to assist you properly. The level of competence required will depend on the complexity of the situation and the particular help you need.
Our Competent Person Support Service is designed to do exactly what is “says on the tin” – provide support guidance and advice to your health and safety appointed competent person, helping to assist you in meeting your HS&E objectives and the health & safety laws applicable to your business activities.
Why a support package?
Our experience within Health, Safety, and the Environment has highlighted situations across different organisations, whereby individuals are tasked with / or undertake activities that are not within there level of competency, which from a health, safety and environmental perspective this can lead to for example legislative noncompliance, accidents, business interruption, intervention from the enforcing authorities.
The competent people in our team have sufficient training and experience or knowledge and other qualities that allow them to assist you properly. The level of competence required will depend on the complexity of the situation and the particular assistance you need. The one thing you can rely on is that we have people who have worked at senior and operational level.
