Competent Person Services
Competent Person Services in Loughborough
A competent person appointment for Loughborough businesses, from a consultancy fifteen minutes away that can actually turn up when it matters.
Professional Competent Person Services in Loughborough
Every employer must appoint one or more competent persons to help them meet their health and safety duties. That is a legal requirement, not a recommendation, and for most small and medium businesses the practical answer is an external appointment. We act as your competent person, giving you qualified advice on call without the cost of an in-house appointment.
Based in Coalville, Leicestershire, Integral Safety is ideally positioned to serve businesses in Loughborough. Choosing a local consultancy means a named consultant who knows your site and can attend when it matters, rather than a call centre and a ticket number.
Proximity matters more for this service than almost any other. A competent person who can be on site within the hour is a genuinely different proposition from one who is two hours away, particularly when something has gone wrong.
Loughborough is our closest large town, and we support businesses there ranging from small engineering firms and research spin-outs to distribution operations and professional practices. The common thread is wanting qualified advice without carrying the cost of an in-house appointment.
Business and Industry in Loughborough
Loughborough combines a major university and its science and enterprise park with a solid base of engineering, electronics and precision manufacturing, plus distribution operations drawn by the M1. The university connection means an unusual number of research, laboratory and spin-out businesses in the town, which brings substances, gases and prototype equipment into the risk picture.

Getting to you

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly could you attend if something happened?
Loughborough is around fifteen minutes from our Coalville office, so for retained clients we can usually be on site quickly. That is one of the practical advantages of appointing somebody local rather than a national provider working through a call centre.
Does the director still carry responsibility if we appoint you?
Yes, and it is important to be clear about this. Appointing a competent person is how you get access to competent advice; it does not transfer your legal duties. The employer, and in some circumstances directors personally, remain accountable. What changes is that you are making decisions on good advice rather than guessing.
Can you act as our competent person in Loughborough?
Yes. We act as the appointed competent person for businesses throughout Loughborough and the surrounding area, which typically means advice on call, periodic site visits, and keeping your policy and risk assessments current as your business changes.
Is appointing a competent person actually a legal requirement?
Yes. Regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 requires every employer to appoint one or more competent persons to assist in complying with their health and safety duties. The regulations express a preference for appointing someone from within your own organisation where a suitably competent person exists, but for most smaller businesses an external appointment is the realistic route.
