The Management of Health & Safety At Work Regulations 1999 and approved guidance states that every organisation whatever the size have a legal requirement to have a “COMPETENT” person (s) to support the organisation to comply with Health & Safety Law and take all reasonable steps to keep people safe and from harm
Even now adays a lot of any new clients you may have in the future and even contractor assessment schemes are requiring that organisations have access to professional advice as part of the tendering process
Ideally the best solution would be to have one of your own employees to be trained up to be the “Competent” person and to deal with your health and safety management.
However devoting human resources and the training of personnel to meet this required standards can be very costly for many small to medium size organizations. So to take all at pressure away
“ Let us be that Competent Person”
