Frequently Asked Questions
What is a competent person?
Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, employers must appoint one or more competent persons to help them comply with health and safety law. A competent person has sufficient training, experience, and knowledge to provide sensible advice on health and safety matters.
Can I be my own competent person?
Yes, if you have the necessary training, experience, and knowledge. However, many business owners find they lack the time or expertise to stay current with health and safety requirements while running their business. Appointing an external competent person can be more practical and cost-effective.
How many competent persons do I need?
The regulations require "one or more" competent persons, with the number depending on your organisation size and complexity. Most small to medium businesses need only one competent person. Larger organisations or those with complex operations may benefit from multiple appointments.
How much does competent person services cost?
The cost depends on the size of your organisation, the complexity of your operations, and how frequently you need site visits. Please contact us to discuss your requirements and we will provide a clear quotation.
Is there a contract or minimum term?
We offer flexible arrangements. While many clients prefer the certainty of a monthly package, we do not require long-term commitments. You can adjust your support level as your business needs change.
How often will you visit our site?
Visit frequency depends on your needs and package. Some clients need monthly visits, others quarterly. We agree a schedule that works for your business and can adjust it as your needs change. You can also request additional visits when needed.
What happens if we have an accident or incident?
Call us immediately. We provide priority support for accidents and incidents, including guidance on immediate actions, RIDDOR reporting requirements, investigation support, and help implementing corrective measures.
Will you help us with accreditation schemes?
Yes. Many accreditation schemes like CHAS, SafeContractor, and Constructionline require evidence of competent person arrangements. We can provide the documentation and support you need, and help you through the application process.
