Competent Person Health and Safety Service UK
Expert Support to Keep Your Business Compliant
Not sure who is responsible for health and safety in your business?
UK law requires every organisation to appoint a competent person to help manage health and safety. If you don’t have in-house expertise, Action Safety can act as your trusted external partner.
We provide practical, ongoing support to help you stay compliant, reduce risk, and focus on running your business.
What is a Competent Person?
A competent person is someone with the skills, knowledge, and experience to help you meet your health and safety responsibilities.
Every business must appoint one — but that doesn’t mean you need to hire internally.
Many businesses choose to outsource this role to a professional consultancy for expert support and peace of mind.
Why Your Business Needs One:
Without competent health and safety support, you may:
- Miss key legal requirements
- Increase risk of accidents or incidents
- Face enforcement action or fines
