What is HSE Competence Assurance?
• HSE competence assurance is a process designed
to provide (reasonable) confidence to management
and other stakeholders that employees have the
competence (knowledge and skills) to carry out the
HSE critical tasks of their jobs to the standard
expected.
• In short, it helps management identify where
employee competence may jeopardise meeting HSE
objectives.
