Competency and Authorisation in the System
Where the record decides who may work.
What this coversHideIn energy and utilities, an expired authorisation is an operational and safety matter rather than an administrative one, so the competency record belongs in the system that rosters people.
- Competency and authorisation held against the individual
- Expiry tracking with advance alerts, not retrospective discovery
- Roster validated against current authorisation
- Site access and permit status linked to the employee record
- Project mobilisation and demobilisation supported
- Shift rostering for continuous operations
- Contractor competency records held alongside own staff
Validating the roster against authorisation is the capability that changes behaviour. Where the system will not let an unauthorised person be scheduled, the record stops being paperwork.
- Competency recorded
- Expiry tracked
- Roster validated
- Gap visible early
