    The difference between Safety Advisor and Competent Person

    Competent person

    The difference between Safety Advisor and Competent Person

    The main difference between a safety advisor and a competent person within your business (eg someone who seems themselves as competent) is that the safety advisor needs to be qualified to at least NEBOSH or IOSH standards.

    A competent person may be competent at running a construction site but not the health and safety management of the site, unless they have the above qualifications.

    When a business has more than five employees, health and safety legislation states the company must employ a competent person who is competent in health and safety. A person who is competent in the health and safety management of the business. This person will hold health and safety qualifications such as NEBOSH or IOSH.

    Ensuring you have the right level of support and advice for your Health & Safety is a bit of a mine field and can be defined simply by the number of employees you have.

    Less than 5 employees = Safety Advisor

    This service is where you are offered support and advice when needed, this tends to be a one of payment where you will be given a service agreement, certificate and a CV to show the qualifications of the person who is providing you with the advice. Paperwork such as off the shelf risk assessments and risk assessments and Method statements would be provided on an as and when basis should you need them.

    More than 5 employees = Safety Competent Person

    This service is where you pay a monthly retainer fee for continued support and advice should you need it. This service is where your consultant becomes part of your business and should be informed of anything that changes within the organisation. In this service you will be provided with a full Safety Management System including full Health & Safety Policy, Equal opportunities policy and Staff handbook. Your consultant will be on hand to be the link between you and the HSE should this ever be necessary.

    Whilst not every company is black and white like this the rule of thumb tends to be the details above. You may be asked by a client to prove you have a dedicated support for Health & Safety resource as well as a policy with less than 5 employees if that is the case you would need fall outside of the rule.

    If you are not sure about your personal circumstances please call 0800 031 5404 during working hours or complete the form using this link. We are happy to go through everything with you.

    What is SSIP Deem to Satisfy?

    What is SSIP Deem to Satisfy?

    Deem to satisfy allows you to obtain an SSIP certificate from a supplier other than the supplier from which you obtained your SSIP certificate.

    For example, you can apply for a Constructionline certificate without going through a new accreditation process if you have a CHAS certificate.

    You can save money using deem to satisfy; for example, if you have a CHAS and wish to renew, you can renew with a more economical supplier and still get your CHAS certificate through the deem to satisfy system.

    All member schemes listed on the SSIP forum adhere to the SSIP Core Criteria, backed by the Health and Safety Executive.

    By mutually recognising each other’s schemes, suppliers benefit from only needing to complete one assessment, while buyers enjoy more efficient procurement processes. This approach reduces costs and has saved over £68 million since 2016.

    Registered Members

    Two-Way Deem to Satisfy between SSIP Registered Members

    Approval with a Registered Member can only be used to Deem to Satisfy with another Registered Member; it cannot be used to gain a Deem to Satisfy with a Certification Body Member.

    Below is the list of registered members you can use for deem to satisfy:

    What is SSIP?

    What is SSIP

    SSIP imageSSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) is an umbrella organisation formed in 2009 to reduce the duplication of health and safety assessments.

    SSIP does not carry out the assessments; 30 companies, including CHAS, PQS, and Constructionline, do that.

    Which assessment company do you select?

    CHAS
    PQS
    Constructionline
    Safe Contractor
    SMAS
    CQMS
    Builders profile
    Avetta

    The most expensive is CHAS, and the least costly is PQS. Due to the Deem to Satisfy system by SSIP, a PQS accreditation is equivalent to a CHAS accreditation, and for a small fee, you can obtain certificates for both.

    The driver for selection usually is your customer; if they insist on CHAS, you can get accredited with PQS and request a certificate from CHAS within the deem to satisfy process.

    Impartial advice

    Feel free to call us, and we can advise you on the best selection for your needs. We have completed thousands of applications and understand the market inside out. We don’t mind which company you select; the assessment process is the same, thanks to SSIP.

    Who is Seguro

    Seguro Health and Safety Management employs qualified health and safety consultants who complete the application to obtain accreditation from all the assessment companies. Seguro removes the pain of completing all the documentation and ensuring you comply.

    The history of SSIP

    In April 2007, the revised Construction (Design & Management) Regulations came into force. The new regulations introduced the concept of accessing the health and safety competence of contractors and consultants working within the construction sector.

    In May 2009, with support from HSE, SSIP was founded, with the core aim to streamline pre-qualification and encourage straightforward mutual recognition between its Member Schemes.

    2015 saw SSIP adopting the Core Criteria from the HSE, ensuring that its members adhered to the highest health and safety standards. This alignment with HSE guidelines further solidified SSIP’s reputation as a health and safety pre-qualification leader.

    In 2024, SSIP remains at the forefront of promoting health and safety standards within the construction industry.

    Health and safety in construction

    In the fast-paced world of construction, safety is of paramount importance. From home extensions to infrastructure projects that shape our country, the welfare of workers and the public is our first consideration.

    When it comes to creating a culture of safety, construction companies must have robust processes and systems in place.

    • Health and safety legislation
    • Common hazards in the construction industry
    • Implementing health and safety on construction sites
    • Safety planning and risk assessment in construction projects
    • Personal protective equipment (PPE) in construction
    • Training and education for construction safety
    • Construction site inspections and audits
    • Creating a culture of safety on construction sites
    • Site Manager Compliance Kit
    • SSIP Accreditation
    • HSG150 health and safety in construction

    Health and safety legislation

    Health and safety legislation in the workplace is the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974This legislation sets out the duties of employers, employees, and others. 

    Responsibilities of employers

    • Assess risks: Identify risks to employees, customers, and others 
    • Create a policy: Have a written health and safety policy if they employ five or more people 
    • Provide training: Ensure staff are adequately trained 
    • Provide welfare: Ensure adequate welfare provisions are available 
    • Provide information: Ensure employees have access to relevant information, instruction, and supervision 
    • Consult employees: Consult employees about risks and preventive measures 

    Responsibilities of employees 

    • Have a duty of care to themselves and others

    Other construction-related health and safety legislation

    Common hazards in the construction industry

    The construction industry is fraught with hazards that can lead to serious accidents if not properly managed.

    • There were 51 fatal injuries to workers in 2023/24
    • 47,000 workers sustained non-fatal injuries at work averaged over the three years 2021/22-2023/24

    One of the most prevalent risks is falls, which can occur from heights such as scaffolding, ladders, or roofs.

    Another common hazard is the risk of being struck by objects. This can happen when tools or materials are improperly secured or when heavy machinery is involved.

    Construction site workers are often close to moving equipment, and the potential for accidents increases.

    Exposure to hazardous substances, such as asbestos and silica dust, poses a significant risk.

    Implementing health and safety on construction sites

    Implementing health and safety processes and systems on construction sites is essential. Many clients now insist that contractors hold a minimum health and safety standard. SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) implemented the standard. SSIP is an umbrella organisation formed in 2009 to reduce the duplication of health and safety assessments. CHAS and PQS are suppliers of the standard.

    Below is a health and safety checklist for a typical site construction setup

    Safety planning and risk assessment in construction projects

    Planning work operations is a key factor in keeping people safe on-site. The process is to develop a method statement of how the work will be executed and then develop a risk assessment. The risk assessment analyses the risks and looks at ways to mitigate them. The project planner may adjust the method statements if the risk assessment finds that the risk is too high.

    Ready for use Risk assessment and method statements templates.

    Personal protective equipment (PPE) in construction

    Personal protective equipment (PPE) is the last line of defence to keep people safe. PPE can include the following:

    • Hard hat
    • His visibility vests and trousers
    • Ear protection
    • Eye protection
    • Lung protection
    • Hand protection
    • Skin protection
    • Foot protection

    The site manager must ensure that their workers are provided with the necessary equipment and trained on how to use it effectively. A PPE register is vital to control who had what and when.

    Site training

    Training and education are fundamental for a safe construction site. On-site training includes:

    On-site e-learning to train site workers saves time and cost.

    A training register is vital to control who had what and when.

    Construction site inspections and audits

    Regular inspections and audits of construction sites are critical for ensuring ongoing health and safety compliance.

    Inspections help identify potential hazards that may have arisen since the last inspection and ensure that safety measures are effectively implemented.

    Inspections can be conducted by internal safety officers or external auditors, providing an objective perspective on the effectiveness of the site’s safety practices.

    Creating a culture of safety on construction sites

    Creating a safety culture begins with a commitment from leadership to prioritise health and safety measures at all levels of the organisation.

    By communicating that health and safety are priorities in the company culture, workers will feel empowered to work safely and promote safety with their workmates.

    Site Manager Compliance Kit

    Overview

    The Site Manager Compliance Kit is an essential tool for every contractor. The Compliance Kit contains all of the information and documentation needed to comply with the requirements of today’s Safety Regulations.

    Hyperion

    I just wanted to send you a quick email about the amazing staff you have on your team.

    Natasha has been dealing with Hyperion for a couple of years now, and we have received nothing but exceptional service from this young lady. I get the quickest responses, with as much help as possible provided every single time. She has gone above and beyond for myself and Mark every time I have spoken to her.

    You can easily tailor the template to meet your specific needs.

    We provide standard and bespoke RAMS (risk and method statements).

    Standard RAMS

    We provide a wide range of risk assessment & method statements in template format on our website. Each can be five to sixteen pages long and contain between 3,000 and 9,000 words.

    The RAMS are within a template and cover all the principal risks and methods to carry out a specific job. The RAM Templates need the client’s involvement as there will be a comprehensive sequence of work that could apply. As the client, you would be responsible for ensuring that this sequence was relevant to yourself and, if not amended to reflect your process.

    Our standard RAMS cost from £6 to £12 per RAM or are provided free as part of our Safety Advisory service or Competent person service.

    Review our standard RAMS

    Bespoke risk assessment and method statements

    Bespoke RAMS are when the client has a very specific request that does not fall into any template we have available. Bespoke RAMS are tailored to include the process you carry out and ensure that all risks are appropriate to the job and site you are working on.

    Writing a bespoke RAMS requires input from one of the consultants, so we will charge a fee. Whatever your requirements, we will have the solution to support you.

      Asbestos Awareness Training

      Stay compliant and prioritise safety with asbestos awareness training. Provide your employees with the necessary training to handle asbestos safely. Developed by health and safety training experts.

      It is your employers responsibility to ensure that any employee who may come into contact or disturb asbestos carrying out their normal daily work tasks have been given the correct level of training. Enabling employees to have the knowledge to ensure that they can work safely and competently without risk to themselves or others working around them.

      There are three main levels of information, instruction and training.

      • Asbestos awareness
      • Non-licensable work with asbestos including NNLW
      • Licensable work with asbestos.

      Asbestos Awareness

      Asbestos Awareness Training can be provided in a number of forms but the most common and easiest form is to provide employees with access to Asbestos Awareness Online Training. The training is intended to provide the employees with the the information you need to avoid work that may disturb asbestos during any normal work which could disturb the fabric of a building, or other item which might contain asbestos. The training is not intended for anyone who will be involved in the removal of Asbestos.

      Asbestos Awareness training should cover the following:
