Competent Person Services in Nottingham

Professional Competent Person Services in Nottingham

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 Nottingham. 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.

Nottingham businesses that come to us for competent person support are usually at a transition point: they have grown past the size where informal arrangements work, or an insurer, client or landlord has asked who their competent person is and they have not had an answer.

The other common trigger is an incident. Having somebody who already knows your business is worth a great deal at that moment, compared with explaining everything from scratch to a consultant you have just met.

Nottingham pairs a dense retail, hospitality and leisure core with substantial employers in healthcare, higher education, financial services and the creative and digital sector. Around the edges sit long-established manufacturing and distribution operations, and across the city there is an exceptional concentration of student housing and houses in multiple occupation, which brings its own fire safety duties.

Business parks and estates we work on

Getting to you

Nottingham is roughly 35 minutes from Coalville via the A42 and M1, or the A6 for the western side of the city. We cover the city centre, the suburbs and the industrial estates on the Colwick and Lenton sides.

Recurring issues we come across doing this work locally. If any of these sound familiar, they are all fixable.

• Businesses asked by an insurer to name their competent person and unable to
• Hospitality and retail groups with no safety support between head office and the floor
• Care providers needing advice that will satisfy a regulator, not just a policy file
• Firms who used a consultant once for a specific job and have had nothing since

• Meet your duty under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
• Chartered-level advice at a fraction of an in-house salary
• Someone who already knows your business when something goes wrong
• Insurers and clients satisfied that competent advice is in place
• Keep pace with legislative change without tracking it yourself
• Predictable cost rather than crisis-driven consultancy fees

We provide competent person services throughout Nottingham and surrounding areas, including:
