Competent Person Service
External Competent Person Health, Safety and Fire Support
Practical Ongoing Health, Safety and Fire Support for Growing Businesses
Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, employers are legally required to appoint one or more competent persons to assist them in complying with their health and safety duties.
Many businesses understand their operations inside out but do not always have the in house specialist knowledge, experience or resource needed to confidently manage health, safety and fire responsibilities as their organisation grows and evolves.
At SHE Does Safety, our External Competent Person Support service provides businesses with access to practical, approachable and ongoing health and safety consultancy and fire safety advice, without the cost of employing an in house specialist.
Whether you need reassurance, practical guidance, independent oversight or simply the confidence that experienced health and safety support is available when you need it.
What Is a Competent Person?
A competent person has the appropriate combination of training, knowledge, experience and practical understanding to assist an organisation in identifying hazards, assessing risks, complying with health and safety legislation, and implementing suitable arrangements and controls.
Even where businesses already have someone internally responsible for health and safety, independent external support can provide valuable reassurance, specialist guidance and objective oversight.
Many organisations use external health and safety support in much the same way they use HR, accountancy or legal services—accessing specialist expertise when required without the overhead of employing a full time professional.
