Our Competent Person Training helps businesses stay safe, compliant, and legally protected. The course equips appointed staff with the knowledge and confidence to manage health, safety, and fire responsibilities.
Competent Person Training
Competent Person Training is designed to ensure appointed staff can identify workplace risks, implement safety procedures, and support emergency planning effectively.
The course covers key areas including health and safety legislation, emergency procedures, evacuation planning, and responsibilities under current fire safety regulations.
By completing this training, appointed staff can confidently fulfil the role of a Competent Person and support overall workplace compliance.
Competent Person Training helps appointed staff understand how to support health, safety, and fire compliance within the workplace.
Participants gain practical knowledge that can be applied immediately within their premises. This includes identifying workplace risks, understanding relevant legislation, supporting emergency planning, and helping ensure safety procedures are implemented correctly.
The training is suitable for organisations that want to improve internal safety management and give appointed staff greater confidence in their responsibilities.
Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations, Regulation 7, employers must appoint one or more competent persons to assist with health and safety compliance.
Our course helps organisations meet this legal requirement. It also supports compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and relevant fire safety legislation. Training helps staff understand their responsibilities and support the Responsible Person or senior management in maintaining compliance.

It strengthens internal safety systems, helps ensure procedures are followed consistently, and improves confidence in managing hazards. Regular training also supports emergency preparedness, including fire and evacuation scenarios, while helping maintain compliance during inspections or audits.
