Claim: Competent person (ensure that the company's health and safety responsibilities) Scheme in the UK was the 1991 Building Regulations Act and it also happened between 2002 and 2010.
Evidence: A competent person is designated by a company to ensure that the company's health and safety responsibilities are being met. The forerunner to the Competent Person Scheme in the UK was the 1991 Building Regulations Act, which enabled gas-heating appliance installers to self-certify that their work was safe and legal, rather than needing external checking. Then from 2002 to 2010, a series of Competent Person Schemes were implemented widely in the buildings sector to enable builders to self-certify that their work meets regulations in eighteen different fields.
