The Law requires employers to appoint someone as the Competent Person for health and safety.

As you might expect – insurers will assume that person is in place and the absence of an appointed person may well invalidate your public and employers insurance cover.

For many companies the appointment of a Competent health and safety assistance from within their organization is just not viable, many businesses don’t have a sufficiently qualified member of staff and employing someone full-time is too expensive.

Chase SDS run a contracted out service to provide that competent health and safety assistance, the package provides comprehensive, affordable health and safety support services.

It is available to companies of all sizes and is tailored to meet specific requirements, but it is particularly aimed at the SME marketplace.
