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.

Great trainer for the course, Lester did a great job of keeping me involved and interested which would not have been easy as I have done this course twice before. I came out of the course with a greater knowledge and understanding of what a confined space ticket allows me to do/not to do. I have been in my industry for over 10 years, so to say I learnt something new about something I do every day is great and I put that down to Lester’s training methods.
