Health and Safety Competent Person
Under Regulation 7 of the Management of Health & Safety Regulations 1999, as an employer, you must appoint someone competent to help you meet your health and safety legal obligations.
A competent person in Health and Safety is someone, either an internal employee or an external advisor, who is sufficiently trained and has the level of knowledge and experience necessary to assist you. The level of competence needed depends on the type and complexity of the help you need.
A retained competent person can either support your in-house health and safety team or serve as your primary source of expertise and guidance. In the latter role, they will oversee all aspects of your Health and Safety Management Systems (HSMS), ensuring continued compliance and effective risk management.
