Chapter 3
Appointment of safety specialists
[ch 3: page 48]Regulation 7 of the Management Regulations requires employers to appoint competent staff to assist in ensuring that the protective and preventative measures identified as necessary by the risk assessment are in place. HSE advice is that a competent person is someone with the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to manage health and safety. In most cases this expertise can be found in-house.
