Competent Person
As a competent person, I provide on-site health and safety evaluations and support the implementation of procedures tailored to each client’s specific needs. With 19 years of experience and holding NVQ Level 6 status as an IOSH Chartered Health and Safety Advisor, I combine practical knowledge with professional expertise to ensure robust, effective, and compliant safety systems. My approach is thorough, reliable, and focused on delivering solutions that work in real-world environments.
Why do I need a competent person?
Legal Basis:
Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (HASAWA): Section 2(1): Employers must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety, and welfare of employees.
Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 (MHSWR) Regulation 7 – Health and safety assistance: Every employer shall appoint one or more competent persons to assist them in undertaking the measures they need to take to comply with the requirements of health and safety law.
A competent person provides the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to identify hazards and ensure compliance with health and safety law.
If a company doesn’t have that competence in-house or is too busy to manage this effectively, Safety Objectives can act as your appointed competent person, ensuring all legal requirements are met on your behalf.
