Envirocare’s Competent Person Scheme
As an organisation, it is the employer’s responsibility, by law, to ensure that Health & Safety policies are fully implemented and adhered to.
Producing such policies require the appointment of a Competent Person, thus ensuring all the legal health and safety requirements are met.
By appointing this person, the employer is taking a significant step towards managing the organisation’s Health & Safety efficiently, however, without the role, the structure of the organisation will be affected.
In the UK, appointing a competent person (s) is a mandatory legal obligation and employers in breach of this may be prosecuted. As a Competent Person may be appointed from within an organisation, Envirocare will be able to provide the necessary support to ensure that the person is constantly updated with the necessary information and requirements, enabling the organisation to meet its most fundamental obligation.
The Role:
In the Envirocare Competent Person Scheme, Envirocare appoints one of its Health & Safety Consultants to fulfil the role of the Competent Person within an organisation.
We have found that a substantial number of small to medium sized businesses tend to go for the scheme. This is mainly due to the fact that they do not have the time or budget to employ a full time competent person internally.
Once the appointment has been made, the consultant will visit the organisation, audit, assess and produce a report based on what he or she has observed.
It is vital that the organisation keeps in touch with Envirocare, not only ensuring that a strong relationship is maintained, but also so that Envirocare is kept up to date with any changes taking place. As long as the relationship is maintained, Envirocare will provide guidance on all aspects of the scheme.
Method Statement
Method Statements are a fundamental cornerstone of the management of Health & Safety in the workplace. They should be specific and relevant to the job in hand and describe clearly the precautions and system of work identified during risk assessment. Everyone involved in the work needs to be informed on what the method statement says and their requirements to the employer.
After analysing the situation, Envirocare will produce a method statement that is the relevant to the job at hand, thus complying with your client’s needs and concerns.
