A VOC is an assessment of a person's knowledge and skills — helping you meet your WHS obligations and keep your crews compliant on plant and equipment.
A Verification of Competency is an assessment of a person's knowledge and skills. The process assists employers with meeting their Workplace Health & Safety (WH&S) obligations to deem staff competent to perform a task or operate plant and/or equipment.
Australian industry regulations require employers and persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) to ensure their workers can clearly demonstrate their ability to perform the tasks related to their job role when plant is used. The use of a VOC is one way of ensuring this happens.
VOCs are undertaken on persons who already hold a current ticket, licence, or unit of competency, to verify that they are still competent to that standard. Participants must provide evidence of their existing competency. The outcome is a Statement which references the activities, tasks, plant and equipment verified. It does not satisfy the requirements for the issuance of a nationally accredited unit of competency.
Any person deemed not yet competent will be offered the opportunity to undertake refresher training and another VOC assessment after they pass the refresher training.
