Verification of Competency (VOC) Services
What is a Verification of Competency (VOC)?
A Verification of Competency (VOC) is an assessment used to confirm that a worker can safely operate equipment and perform tasks in the workplace.
VOC assessments are commonly used across high-risk industries to ensure workers remain competent, compliant, and capable of carrying out their duties safely.
Your workplace health and safety is important, but knowing where to start when assessing competency can be challenging.
