Competent Advice & Support

A competent person is someone with the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to help you manage health and safety.
What it is

A competent person, on call when you need one

As an employer, you must appoint someone competent to help you meet your health & safety duties. Think of this person – or organisation – as an expert you can call upon for advice and guidance on health & safety matters as and when you need it. Complisafe provide many organisations with prompt, reliable and, most importantly, “competent” advice and support.

Our Managing Director is on the OSHCR register and is a Chartered Member of IOSH.

Typical queries that we deal with on a daily basis include advice on Health and Safety Training, Risk Assessments, Fire Risk Assessments, Policies, Accidents and Incidents, Pre Qualification Questionnaires, Ergonomics, Auditing and Inspections.

Complisafe Health and Safety Consultants possess wide ranging experience in civil and criminal cases, risk management, investigations and working with enforcing authorities. Our Health and Safety Consultants have many years of experience and possess professional memberships at various levels.

Why do you need it?

Confidence in managing your risks, as and when you need it

Health & safety is an area where awareness has grown hugely, and you may have some expertise already. Many companies don’t have the resources for a directly-employed person, full or part time. That’s where Complisafe come in.

Our approach is to understand what you do and the support you need – then be available for all things health, safety, fire and CDM.

How do we work

From £600 per annum

For a typical low-risk small business wanting a named company for accreditations and questionnaires, with telephone and email support for quick questions. Larger organisations needing monthly or weekly support get a bespoke arrangement – and we can combine packages to include policies, risk assessments and training.

  1. We understand your needs

    First we get to grips with what you do and the type of support you need. Every business is different, so we take pride in giving honest, practical advice.

  2. We’re there when you need us

    Some clients contact us a handful of times a year; others speak to us every week. Either way, we’re available to answer questions and take calls on all things health, safety, fire and CDM.

  3. You get a named, competent resource

    You have a competent person to call on (full or part time) without the cost of employing one directly.

  4. We certify the relationship

    We issue you with a certificate that can be displayed at your workplace and shared with clients, confirming your relationship with Complisafe.

The Complisafe difference

What makes a good Health and Safety consultant?

A good Health and Safety consultant is an invaluable asset to any organisation, as they play a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of employees and compliance with health and safety regulations. These are the qualities and skills we hold ourselves to.

Expertise and Knowledge

A good consultant should possess a deep understanding of health and safety regulations, industry standards, and best practices. They should stay updated with the latest developments in the field and have expertise in assessing risks and implementing effective control measures.

Effective communication is vital for a consultant to convey complex health and safety information to clients in a clear and concise manner. They should be able to explain technical concepts, regulations, and recommendations to individuals at all levels of an organisation. Active listening skills are also essential for understanding the unique needs and challenges of each client.

A consultant must be able to assess workplace hazards, conduct risk assessments, and develop practical solutions to address health and safety concerns. They should possess strong analytical skills to identify potential risks and develop appropriate control measures to mitigate them effectively.

The field of health and safety is constantly evolving, with new regulations and emerging risks. A good consultant should be adaptable and able to adjust their approach to accommodate changing circumstances and client needs. They should also be flexible in developing customized solutions that suit the specific requirements of different industries and organisations.

Health and safety consultants must have a keen eye for detail to identify potential hazards and ensure compliance with regulations. They should be meticulous in their assessments and documentation, leaving no room for oversight or ambiguity.

Consultants often work closely with clients and employees at various levels of an organisation. The ability to build strong relationships, collaborate with different stakeholders, and influence change is essential for success. Strong interpersonal skills enable consultants to gain trust, effectively train employees, and create a positive safety culture within the organisation.

Health and safety consultants must demonstrate professionalism and integrity in all aspects of their work. They should maintain confidentiality, adhere to ethical standards, and provide objective advice based on their expertise and knowledge. Trustworthiness and credibility are vital for building long-term relationships with clients.

The field of health and safety is dynamic, and regulations are constantly evolving. A good consultant should be committed to continuous learning and professional development. They should actively seek opportunities to expand their knowledge, attend relevant workshops or conferences, and engage in ongoing education to stay updated with the latest practices and regulations.
