I am trying to understand what persons need to ne nominated or authorised by their employer to carry out particular roles. For example does an individual trained to inspect and change grinding wheels need a letter from his employer authorising him to do this or does the fact he has been nominated for training by his employer and has a certificate to prove he has sucessfully completed the training suffice? Any help would be appreciated including which roles specifically would require the employer's authorisation.

I have had run ins over nominated Competent Persons in relation to senior managers understanding what levels of competence are required for varying job functions.

To help, and keep it easy for them to understand - an art in itself - I wrote down all of the "Competent Person" definitions from the various regulations , and put in notes as to how this was going to be used/adapted for our training and operational needs.

I put all of the info into a simple table with - Yes, we comply or No, we don't comply - this is what is needed as a quick visual guide for the managers.

If they are still not sure for any reason, they can ring for further or more detailed guidance before shooting themselves in the foot.

That works for me !
