Competent Person Service - Business Safe

**Did you know? "Size doesn't matter in managing risk"**

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 requires that employers appoint one or more "competent persons" to assist them in complying with health and safety law which is relevant to their business.

Can you as a building contractor justify in-house health and safety expertise?

Some building contractors, however, cannot justify a full time safety advisor and may not have the necessary skills in-house for an employee to act as their competent person, this is where Bespoke Safety Solutions can help you. For a fraction of the cost of employing additional resource to help you with managing risk you can tap into a wealth of knowledge and experience.
