When it comes to meeting your Health & Safety responsibilities, having support from someone that is sufficiently skilled, experienced and knowledgeable isn’t optional.
Good practice in workplace health & safety requires a mixture of technical and legal proficiency, ranging from skills which can be learnt by virtually anyone, through to the set of very high-order knowledge, experience, judgement and skills which make an ‘acknowledged expert’.
A Competent Adviser is someone who has sufficient training, experience & knowledge of health and safety compliance. The level of competence required will depend on the size and complexity of the situation, as well as the particular help needed.
It is vital to identify the appropriate level of health and safety competency that is required for each set of circumstances. This is where Evolve can help. If current in-house expertise and organisational capacity is insufficient for the purpose then advice and guidance should be sought from an external agency, such as Evolve Health and Safety.
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 Evolves approach is always collaborative. We become your competent advisor and we work alongside your chosen competent person, so you reap the rewards of our industry-leading expertise while benefitting from capable in-house support, too.
