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.
Our Retained Management Service is aimed at providing SME's and if required, larger companies with sensible cost effective assistance in managing workplace risk and their health and safety management systems (HSMS).
⭕ Our service to your business
Eden Health and Safety can take this responsibility off you, by providing your business comprehensive and affordable services and competent person packages for businesses of all sizes.
Your business can benefit from having Eden Health and Safety act as your Competent Person, which means you can reduce your overheads by not employing a full-time member of staff to deal solely with Health and Safety issues, and have that reassurance of being able to call upon expert support, advise and guidance when you need it.
Hiring a retained Competent Person will give you peace of mind that your legal duties under Health and Safety legislation are covered and you are providing your employees with a safe working environment.
⭕ Retained Management Support Plan
We have seen SME's, who were once using the larger health and safety consultancy companies, migrate over to us once their renewal periods have expired.
The reason being, as your Competent Person, Eden Health and Safety offer a more personal client to consultant relationship, with realistic support plans, designed for your business needs and which do not tie you in for long periods of time.

Our Retained Management Support Plans
Competitive & flexible for your businesses needs
We recognised that business safety requirements vary greatly, therefore we work with our clients and provide flexibility around our Health and Safety packages, so that you receive the correct level of support and service your business requires. This is normally determined by the outcome of your initial compliance audit and workplace inspection (gap analysis).
Our aim is to provide an appropriate level of professional and dedicated support to you, so that you can be compliant with your legal Health and Safety obligations, no matter the type or size of business you are, or how many employees you have.
Unlike other consultancy services, we do not have fixed retained management plans, as we acknowledge all business require differing levels of support. Therefore, we provide flexibility around the management support plans we put together for each business, which are based on four key levels of support:
✅ Compliance: Ideal for businesses requiring a retained H&S consultant for occasional (on demand) compliance support and advice*
✅ Essential: Suitable for businesses, who require assistance a lower level of support with their H&S management system compliance
✅ Management: Aimed at businesses who are requiring wider support and assistance with all aspects of their H&S management system
✅ Comprehensive: Provides your business with comprehensive support in both your H&S management system and Fire Safety management.
A Health and Safety Management System (HSMS) is a structured approach an organisation uses to identify, manage, and mitigate health and safety risks in the workplace. It's a framework of policies, procedures, and practices aimed at preventing injuries, illnesses, and incidents while also ensuring a safe working environment.
