Ensure your staff remain competent after completing their course. Competency assessments confirm that, post-course, students are applying what they learnt to the workplace.

VOC field assessments are designed to facilitate the ongoing assessment of trained individuals in their workplace environment. Completing these competency assessments ensures that correct procedures are being used in the workplace.

Competency Assessed:

The Verification of Competency (VOC) for Wheels, Tracks, and Rollers assesses an operator’s ability to safely and effectively handle various special-type vehicles, including those that run on wheels, self-laying tracks, or rollers. Operators will be evaluated on their knowledge of the specific safety and legal requirements for operating these vehicles in workplace settings, as well as on public roads where applicable.

The VOC focuses on verifying that operators can perform the necessary procedures for operating these vehicles while considering the size, weight, and speed limitations of the equipment, as relevant to their license class. Additionally, operators will demonstrate proper handling techniques, safe driving practices, and key considerations to ensure the vehicle is used efficiently and safely within different environments.

Outcome: 

Upon completion, you will receive a VOC report outlining each trainee's areas of competency and any areas that may require further training or additional VOC checks in the future.

Entry Criteria:

  1. All students are required to have a level of written and oral English equivalent to NCEA level 1 (year 11) or IELTS 5.5 or higher, to be eligible to attend our courses.

Wheels, Tracks & Rollers VOC Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Wheels, Tracks & Rollers Verification of Competency assessments in New Zealand.

A Verification of Competency (VOC) for Wheels, Tracks & Rollers is a workplace assessment that confirms an operator can safely and competently operate special-type vehicles that run on wheels, self-laying tracks or rollers. The assessment evaluates practical operating skills, hazard awareness, safety procedures and compliance with workplace and legal requirements. It helps employers verify that operators continue to apply safe work practices after completing formal training.
This assessment is suitable for operators who use wheeled, tracked or roller machinery in industries such as construction, civil works, road maintenance, infrastructure, earthmoving, forestry, mining, utilities and local government. It is intended for workers who have already received formal training and need their competency verified in the workplace.
The assessment verifies an operator's ability to:
  • Conduct pre-operational inspections
  • Operate wheels, tracks and roller machinery safely
  • Identify workplace hazards and manage risks
  • Follow workplace procedures and manufacturer requirements
  • Demonstrate safe driving and operating techniques
  • Work within equipment size, weight and speed limitations
  • Comply with workplace health and safety requirements
  • Operate efficiently in real workplace conditions
The assessment focuses on confirming practical competency rather than delivering new operator training.
No. A Verification of Competency is not a training course. It is an assessment that confirms a worker can safely apply their existing knowledge and practical skills in the workplace. If competency gaps are identified, additional training or reassessment may be recommended before the operator continues using the equipment.
A VOC helps employers ensure operators remain competent, compliant and safe while using specialised machinery. Regular competency assessments can identify unsafe work practices, skill gaps and refresher training needs before incidents occur, supporting workplace health and safety obligations and reducing operational risk.
Upon completion, Safety 'n Action provides a Verification of Competency report outlining each operator's demonstrated competency, the areas assessed and any recommendations for further training or future reassessment if required. This provides employers with documented evidence of workplace competency.
The assessment is available as either a half-day or full-day programme, depending on the number of operators being assessed and the workplace requirements. Assessments are conducted in real workplace environments to verify practical competency under normal operating conditions.
