Chapter 3
Appointment of safety specialists
[ch 3: page 42]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 and that in most cases this expertise can be found in-house.
