Competent Person Service
A health and safety competent person is someone appointed to ensure that a company’s health and safety responsibilities are being met. Within the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 there is a requirement for every employer to have, where necessary, the services of a “competent person”.
The HSE advises that employers who aren’t confident in their ability to manage health and safety internally should seek support from an external health and safety professional. As health and safety professionals, LAKE act as the “competent person” to many of our clients who do not need a full-time safety professional or who cannot afford one.
