Course Details

Australian health and safety legislation required employers to verify that their employees possess the necessary skills and qualifications for safe operation, rather than assuming competence. Pinnacle Safety and Training’s Verification of Competency (VOC) assessment is designed to confirm that an operator’s skills align with the machinery and tasks they will be performing in what workplace. This assessment is commonly utilised for pre-employment checks and to meet project-specific requirements.

Our VOC assessments are conducted in accordance with Nationally Recognised Units of Competency, relevant Codes of Practice, Standards, Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM) guidelines, WHS legislation, and your company’s procedures. These evaluations ensure that operators meet both industry and site-specific standards.

I would like to thank you and the rest of your team for organising and contributing to what was a very successful Safety Day here at Sunstate Cement. As always we were very impressed by the professionalism of the Pinnacle team, from the first meeting you and I had at the start of the planning, through to the delivering of the demonstrations on the day. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed each session. The information and activities were very relevant to our business, and the demonstrations were delivered in a way that was easily understood by all. I had some really positive feedback from everyone.
