Training and Competency Policy

Our commitment

We are committed to providing appropriate training to all workers on the skills and competencies necessary to work in a way that is safe for them and for others.

How we will meet our commitment

We have developed a training and competency framework that:

  • identifies workplace roles
  • defines competencies for each role
  • analyses the training needs for each role (to fill any training/competency gaps)
  • develops a training plan to meet the training needs
  • assesses training outcomes (assessment of changes to competencies)
  • monitors the training plan and other elements of the framework

Scope

This policy and supporting procedures apply to all workers and other persons at the workplace.

Responsibilities

The employer must:

  • establish and implement the training and competency framework to manage the training and competency workplace requirements
  • ensure that workers are appropriately selected and trained for the job they have been employed for

Managers and supervisors must:

  • perform a Training Needs Analysis (TNA) for all workers in their area of control
  • ensure workers in their area of control attend (and are deemed competent in) each training program in the training plan
  • verify any role specific licences, qualifications etc. prior to a new worker starting work (e.g. forklift licence)

Workers must:

  • attend any training required to safely perform their work activities
  • apply the competencies gained in training to their work activities

Based on the policy, what are two of your responsibilities as 'team leader' for training?
