Competent Persons Services
We provide clients with legal advice on all aspects associated with Environmental, Health and Safety
Why do I need to appoint a Health & Safety Consultant?
“Every employer shall appoint one or more competent persons to assist him in undertaking the measures he needs to take to comply with the requirements imposed upon him/her under UK health and safety legislation” Regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
Most Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) companies do not have the necessary resources to employ a full-time safety advisor, so our Competent Person Service allows your company to comply with the statutory provision at a vastly reduced cost to employing a full-time safety advisor, calling upon professional support as and when you need us.
In addition, many tendering processes include health and safety questionnaires and contractor assessment schemes such as CHAS, Safe Contractor, FORS and Constructionline, require that you have access to competent health and safety advice, and we offer a fast service for clients who need a competent person in a hurry to ensure that all requirements are met.
Ensure your business has the necessary Health & Safety cover by signing up to the Carmarthen EHS Consultants Ltd Competent Person service, and we will carry out the following:
- A preliminary discussion to help us better understand your company’s specific needs
- Undertake a health and safety management review including, a review of your existing Health and Safety policy, method statements and risk assessments
- Be available to offer advice on the phone or via email whenever it is required
- Two site inspections per year
- Assistance with Health & Safety sections of work bids and tender questionnaires
- Assistance with The Contractors Health & Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS), Constructionline, Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) applications
- Assistance with Health & Safety Prequalification questionnaires
In addition to the above, you are legally entitled to designate us as your company’s “Competent Person” for all matters of health and safety, therefore fully complying with government regulations.
