Competent Person Service
Peace of mind guaranteed
It is a legal obligation for your business to have an appointed ‘Competent Person’ nominated as responsible for your employee’s health and safety.
CQMS can take on this responsibility for you. The benefits of outsourcing this role to a professional health and safety consultant include:
- You keep your employees safe
- You fulfill your legal obligations
- Relieves any anxiety you may have around health and safety.
As your Competent Person, CQMS will take the strain and relieve the burden of keeping up to speed with the constant changes in Health and Safety legislation and will help keep your employees safe.
We understand that a business has many different responsibilities, and it is difficult to manage everything and keep up to and on top of your Health and Safety responsibilities as well – but of course, this is one thing that you mustn’t let slide.
The answer is to outsource the role of a Competent Person to CQMS.
CQMS are experts in Health and Safety, and we can help you not only feel a sense of relief but also give you the freedom to work and focus on what you do best.
Your Competent Person should have the skills, knowledge, practical experience, and training to enable them to assess the possible risks arising from work activities that may be hazardous to the health or well-being of employees.
As your retained Health and Safety Consultant, we will:
- Act as your Competent Person, as per the Management of Health and Safety of Works Regulations 1999
- Carry out regular audits
- Provide you with access to Health and Safety advice
- Report any RIDDOR reportable accidents or incidents to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) on your behalf
- Assist with the completion of the safety element of Contractor Appraisal Questionnaires providing Pre-qualification support
-
Pre-qualification Questionnaires (PQQs) are often considered exhaustive and complicated. The majority of Pre-qualification questionnaires are based upon the SSIP Core Criteria (the Threshold Standard) which covers organisational capability as required by UK Health and Safety legislation
-
Not everybody has the time nor resources to complete PQQs and that is where CQMS can support; this service is included within our Competent Person service as standard taking away the frustration and enabling you to get on with what you do best!
-
- Liaise with third parties and enforcement agencies, i.e. clients, HSE, via telephone and email
- Provide you with regular updates and information to keep you informed and up to date with current Health and Safety news
It’s time to stop feeling overwhelmed and let us take care of you and your employee’s health and safety. CQMS is ready to be your Competent Person. You can rest assured that CQMS has a wealth of experience to act as your Competent Person. Read more about our competencies and training.
