A trained and competent workforce

A Trained and Competent Workforce

What makes a competent person?

Regulation 16 of the 'Electricity at Work Regulations' 1989 states that:

"No person shall be engaged in any work activity where technical knowledge or experience is necessary to prevent danger., unless he possesses such knowledge, or is under a degree of supervision as may be appropriate having regards to the nature of the work."

Competence is a 'cocktail' of items which includes knowledge of electricity, experience of electrical work, understanding the system being worked on, understanding all the hazards and precautions and ability to recognise danger and when it is safe to work.

NECTA directly employs over 80 Electrical Inspectors and does not use sub-contracted labour. These Inspectors are subjected to 3 monthly competency assessments to ensure that our high service delivery standards are maintained and that our workforce is able to work competently and safely on-site.

Only YOU, the employer can declare an individual 'competent'.
