Your competent person. Software included.
Every employer needs a competent person for health and safety. Get a named safety adviser who knows your business, plus SafetyNerd, the app your team runs it all on. From £150 a month, no VAT to add.
Expert advice, and the tools to run your safety
Most consultants hand you a folder and leave. We give you a named competent person and SafetyNerd, the software you and your team use every day. Or just the software, if you've got your own safety lead.
Included in every package
SafetyNerd is a basic part of our competent person service. From £150 a month you get your named consultant and the software, set up for your business. We keep an eye on it with you and step in before anything slips.
- Named consultant, Regulation 7
- Set up for you in week one
- We see what's overdue, and help

Common questions
Do I legally need a competent person?
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 help them comply with health and safety law.
Can I be my own competent person?
Yes, if you have enough training, experience and knowledge for the risks in your business. The law actually prefers someone in your own business where they're competent. If nobody is, you can appoint someone external.
How much does it cost?
Core is £150 a month for your competent person and the SafetyNerd software. Complete, with all five software modules, is £325, or £475 with CDM. Or add single modules and staff logins as you need them; there's no VAT to add. The builder on our pricing page works out your exact price.
How often will you visit?
As often as your work needs. Site visits are booked when you need them, and quoted before we start.
Do you do one-off consultancy work?
No. We're a competent person service. Extra work like fire risk assessments, audits and new risk assessments is available as an add-on to clients on one of our packages, so it always builds on what we already know about your business.
How does CDM support work?
CDM projects are £175 a month, either added to Core or as a plan on its own if you only need help with a building project.
