COMPETENCE ASSURANCE<br />
Key issues covered include: <strong>com</strong>petence of employees and<br />
contractors; training programmes and inductions; task auditing;<br />
over<strong>com</strong>ing language barriers, driver training; and safety events.<br />
Effective training can help businesses avoid the distress and financial costs of<br />
accidents and occupational ill health.<br />
There are an increasing number of workers from EU member states employed directly or<br />
as contractors on site. Companies should consider whether they have ensured that their<br />
language skills are sufficient to understand health and safety information in English<br />
– or whether they need to provide translations.<br />
““Competence assurance means a simple system of assuring you, your work colleagues,<br />
the contractors you work with and everyone else associated with a quarry knows what to<br />
do, how to do it correctly and maximizes benefit for all concerned. No truly professional<br />
”<br />
manager should want to manage any quarry without such a system in place.”<br />
