ISA can help you achieve the competent person scheme

Under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and The Management of Health & Safety Regulations 1999, as a business owner or director you must have access to a ‘Competent Person’ and advise in order for you to meet the requirements of Health & Safety Law. Becoming a competent person means that you don’t have to get your work approved by an inspector and your customers will benefit from lower prices as there are no building control fees.

A competent person must be registered with a scheme that has been approved by The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) in order to be able to self-certify their work.

There are a number of different schemes available under CPS, including Air Tightness Testing and Management Association (ATTMA), Association of Plumbing and Heating Contractors (Certification) Limited (APHC), Blue Flame Certification Limited, BM Trada Certification Limited and Building Engineering Services Competence Assessment Limited.
