Someone in your corner, all year round

Health and safety law expects most businesses to appoint one or more competent persons to help them meet their duties. In hospitality and leisure that expertise rarely sits in-house, and pulling in ad-hoc help every time something crops up is stressful and expensive.

On a retained plan, we are that competent person for you: ongoing advice whenever you need it, a proper review each year, and a familiar voice who already knows your site when something goes wrong.

What retained support gives you

Qualified help on tap, for a fraction of a full-time hire.

Named competent person

A qualified, named point of contact who knows your business and is there when you need them.

An advice line for the everyday

Quick, straight answers to day-to-day questions, so small issues don’t become big ones.

An annual review & refresh

A yearly check and update of your risk assessments and system, so you stay current season to season.

Backup when it counts

Support when an enforcing authority, insurer or client comes asking, or after an incident.

Common questions

What is a competent person, and do I need one?

Most businesses must appoint one to help meet their health and safety duties. If you don’t have that expertise in-house, we can be your appointed competent person on a retained basis.

What’s included in the retained plan?

A named competent person on call, an advice line for day-to-day questions, and an annual review of your system and risk assessments. The exact scope is agreed with you.

Do you cover more than one site?

Yes. Multi-site operators are supported too; the plan is scoped to your operation.

Is it a fixed term?

Retained plans run on a simple annual basis, and we set the terms out clearly before you commit.
