There is a legal requirement for organisations to have access to competent assistance. Every employer needs to appoint one or more "competent person(s)" to advise and assist in undertaking the necessary measures to comply with the relevant statutory requirements. If there is no relevant competent worker within the organisation then the organisation should enlist the services of an external organisation or person.
Initial Safety Services can act as the external "Competent Person" for your organisation to assist you in complying with health and safety law. There are a variety of levels of support available from telephone and email support to regular on site visits.
