Show Notes

On average, plant & equipment account for 71% of mechanisms related to worker fatalities².   A Verification of Competency or VOC is a method of assessment which typically ensures that workers operating plant, equipment and other tools on work sites remain competent to do so – to keep themselves, others safe and solvent.

This webinar provides a risk-based approach to establish a VOC program that not only meets legal requirements, but also enables effective risk controls and a high-performance culture.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand your legal obligations for VoC, including operator competency vs assessor competency
  • Understand how to demonstrate due diligence and minimise risk of personal liability – facts vs myths!
  • List options for taking a risk-based approach for establishing VoC safe systems of work
  • Gain an understanding of leadership principles and methods of building a high-performance culture.
