Safety Advisory Service (SAS)
The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 state that every employer must enlist one or more competent persons to assist him in complying with their statutory duties under Health & Safety Law. Where no competent person exists within a company the services of an external organisation should be sought.
At Delta Power Management Services Ltd we offer a cost effective service to such organisations by providing the services of a competent person under Regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. As part of the service we will always ensure a competent and professional approach to the management of health and safety issues and have extensive experience of working with a wide range of clients in providing support and advice on all matters of Health & Safety and associated legislation.

A Pre-Qualification Questionnaire, normally abbreviated to 'PQQ', is a questionnaire that suppliers or contractors must fill out when bidding for work, applying for an approved supplier list or when applying for an accreditation scheme.
