Competent Person
The term "Competent Person" is used in many OSHA standards and documents.
An OSHA "competent person" is defined as
· "one who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees,
· and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them".
By way of training and/or experience, a competent person is
· knowledgeable of applicable standards,
· is capable of identifying workplace hazards relating to the specific operation,
· and has the authority to correct them.
We provide onsite competent person excavation training and onsite competent person scaffold training.
