To get a competent person certificate (or rather, a certificate of completion in training related to CP duties), you just need to find a comprehensive course on the hazards, OSHA standards, and corrective measures related to a particular area of construction safety.
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. Some standards add additional specific requirements which must be met by the competent person.
To successfully qualify for a competent person scheme certification, traders are expected to pass a work assessment that checks the quality of their work against that of UK building regulations.
Although this training is voluntary, certain industries and locations require workers to get an OSHA card before they start work. Some employers tell workers they need to get an OSHA certification but OSHA doesnt actually consider the OSHA card a certification.
Competent person means 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. 1926.32(g)
