How does your company ensure that their workers are competent to operate equipment and perform their required tasks?
“Is this person competent to do this job?” is one of the first things we should be asking as safety professionals. Do you know you need to perform competencies, but there just isn't enough time to learn about them and then create the forms and train your team?
When I worked on major projects the number of incidents directly linked back to the worker not being competent to do the task was astounding. Obviously, their employer had not performed a competency on them. What is more frightening is how many workers were asked to do very dangerous jobs for which they had not been adequately trained or had no experience beyond their training courses.
Our biggest problem is not knowing what we don’t know! Assuming a worker is competent based on their certificates and resume is a recipe for disaster!
You may be able to tell we are pretty passionate about this one!
How do we determine this in a standardized and thorough manner? We need to make sure that workers who are not competent are placed under the direct supervision of someone who has been deemed competent.
