Why are they Required?

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, every employer in the UK is legally required to appoint one or more Competent Persons to help them meet their health and safety responsibilities. This is not optional — it’s a core legal obligation.

​

A Competent Person must have the skills, knowledge, experience, and training to:

​

  • Identify workplace hazards

  • Assess and manage risks

  • Advise on practical, compliant control measures

​

Without this expertise, businesses risk breaching health and safety law — exposing themselves to enforcement notices, fines, legal claims, and serious harm to employees.

​

Health and safety regulations are complex and continually evolving. Attempting to manage compliance alone increases your risk of costly errors and legal exposure.

​

By partnering with SJH Safety Solutions, you gain immediate access to seasoned health and safety professionals who serve as your trusted external Competent Person. We help you:

​

  • Stay compliant with current HSE requirements

  • Prepare for audits and inspections

  • Build a safe, legally sound workplace

​

Our Competent Person service protects your business, your people, and your peace of mind — so you can focus on running your business, knowing your legal duties are fully covered.
