Essentially, competence management is a combination of knowledge, skill and experience that taken together indicate that a candidate is capable of performing safety critical, technical and operational duties over a wide range of activities.
It is important to obtain externally verified certificates of competence for all personnel involved in offshore activities.
This applies to personnel employed by contracting companies and freelance personnel.
Increasingly tenders for contracts now require organisations to demonstrate they have a robust, externally verified competence management programme in place.
The practice of demonstrating competence in the offshore industry has come a long way in recent years, driven in part by our efforts to rationalise and streamline the process to the benefit of both individuals and operating companies.
