Competent Adviser

When it comes to meeting your Health & Safety responsibilities, having support from someone that’s sufficiently skilled, experienced and knowledgeable isn’t optional. And that’s where we come in.

Some businesses will claim to be your competent person, but we don’t do that, because we believe a joint effort is how you get the utmost level of protection.

That’s why our approach is always collaborative. We become your competent adviser and we work alongside your competent person, so you reap the rewards of our industry-leading expertise while benefitting from capable in-house support, too.

What is a competent adviser?

A competent adviser is an external professional who has the right skills, knowledge and experience to help your business meet its Health & Safety obligations. They work with your in-house competent person to make sure that your company complies with Health & Safety regulations, identifies and reduces risks, and stays legally protected.

Why you need a competent adviser

You didn’t set up your business because you’re passionate about Health & Safety, but we did.

From keeping up with legislation changes and interpreting the law to following legal processes and producing relevant documents, there’s an awful lot you need to know – and understand – to maintain compliance. If it’s not your area of expertise though, we know that’s easier said than done.

Bringing a competent adviser on board will:

• Give you complete peace of mind that your site and employees are safe and sound
• Save you time and money while staying on the right side of the law
• Give you a competitive advantage by demonstrating you take safety seriously
• Free up more time for you to focus on running and growing your business.
