The Importance of Employing a Competent Person
- It is a legal requirement: Under Regulation 7 of The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, every organisation must have access to help from a competent person.
- Identifies and addresses risks: Risks can be found in any workplace, particularly within the construction industry. No workplace is 100% safe, therefore ongoing health and safety initiatives are essential.
- Peace of mind: Business owners, management, employees and more can have the peace of mind that they are working in a safe and secure environment.
- Reduces costs: Losing workers due to workplace injury or illness can be costly and have a detrimental impact on your business.
- Better company profile: A company that demonstrates a commitment to HSE requirements is likely to be awarded high-profile contracts over a company that doesn’t have any health and safety training.

What is a competent person?
If you are a director, owner, or manager of a company, you have a responsibility to implement health and safety initiatives within your business. Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reports show that thousands of workers sustain injuries at work over the course of a year. Additionally, millions of working days are lost due to non-fatal workplace injuries. A competent person, such as our chartered health and safety professionals, can help you meet your legal health and safety duties.
What is the responsibility of a competent person?
A health and safety competent person has the skills, knowledge and experience to recognise hazards in your business. Once these risks have been identified, our chartered health and safety specialists can recommend and implement health and safety initiatives to keep workers and others safe from harm.
