HSE Guidance on competent person
As an employer, you must appoint a competent person or people to help you meet your health and safety legal duties.
What a competent person does
They should have the skills, knowledge and experience to be able to recognise hazards in your business and help you put sensible controls in place to protect workers and others from harm.
Qualifications and training
​
It's not usually essential for them to have formal qualifications and they're not required by law to have formal training, although it can help.
Who you can appoint
You could appoint (one or a combination of):
-
yourself
-
one or more of your workers
-
someone from outside your business​
Usually, managing health and safety isn't complicated and you can do it yourself with the help of your workers. You know your workplace best and the risks associated with it.
If there's a competent person within your workforce, use them rather than a competent person from outside your business.
Using a consultant or adviser
If your business or organisation doesn't have the competence to manage health and safety in-house, for example, if it's large, complex or high risk, you can get help from a consultant or adviser. But remember, as the employer, managing health and safety will still be your legal duty.

Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) is the mutual recognition scheme for occupational health and safety standards. It operates as an umbrella organisation that encompasses assessment schemes with the common goal of reducing duplication and costs for both suppliers and buyers. Most companies use either CHAS or Constructionline accreditation.
​
SSIP are increasingly becoming a prerequisite for many tenders – especially public sector contracts. An SSIP certificate illustrates that your health and safety documentation and processes has been reviewed by an independent assessor, and meets a defined standard.

SMETA, which stands for Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit, is a comprehensive and widely recognized audit methodology. It was developed by the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (Sedex) to assess and monitor ethical and responsible business practices in global supply chains. SMETA audits evaluate various aspects of a company's operations, including labor, health and safety, environmental impact, and business ethics.
