Competence can be described as the combination of training, skills, experience and knowledge that a person has, and their ability to apply them to perform a task safely. Other factors, such as attitude and physical ability, can also affect someone’s competence.
As an employer, you should take account of the competence of employees as this will help you decide what level of information, instruction, training and supervision you need to provide.
At Positive Safety Solutions we pride ourselves on our service delivery and attention to detail, ensuring that our Clients achieve and maintain legal compliance, so that their staff and others are kept safe in the workplace and throughout the life of their projects.

Managing Health and Safety is a necessity for your business’ moral, financial and legal reasons. However, having a robust and effective Health and Safety training policy can help reduce staff turnover, insurance premiums, lost time, lost contracts and damage to your reputation; it can increase morale, reduce absences, result in greater productivity and ultimately, profitability.
If you know what training you require and we offer what you need, that’s great; however, if you’re not sure what training course(s) your employees should complete, we can help with that by assisting you to complete a training needs assessment.
We offer both regulated qualifications that are recognised nationally and which will require some form of formal assessment to be successfully completed by the participants, and bespoke courses that will cover similar content to the regulated qualifications, but which are not ‘recognised’ and are not usually assessed, unless this is requested by you to help determine your employee competence.
If you are unsure as to what you require, book a consultation with one of our Health and Safety professionals for a quick review of your current training needs situation relevant to your industry.
