Weekly Safety Topic Competent Person
You probably know that some activities in construction require a competent person to design, supervise, or inspect the work area. A competent person has a lot of responsibility.
OSHA defines a competent person as someone who:
1. Is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings,
2. Is able to identify working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees,
3. And has the authority to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate or control the hazards.
