Verification of competency (VOC)

Course Information

Our Verification of Competencies (VOC) service is designed for businesses that want peace of mind that their operators are working safely and effectively on machinery and equipment.

Ensure your team is confident, capable, and compliant.

Overview

A VOC assessment confirms that a worker has the knowledge and practical skills to operate specific machinery competently. It is not training — it is an independent assessment to verify that an operator already holds the required skills and can apply them safely on site.

Our qualified assessors provide practical, scenario-based checks across a range of plant and equipment. On successful completion, employers receive documented confirmation of competency for each operator assessed.

Machinery covered

We currently offer VOC assessments for:

• Excavator

• Dump Truck

• Wheel Loaders

• Rollers

• Other plant and machinery on request

What you’ll gain

• Independent, third-party verification of operator skills

• Assurance of compliance with site and client requirements

• A documented record of competency for each operator

• Confidence that your workforce can operate safely and productively

How it works

• Delivery: On-site at your workplace or at our Besafe Training facilities
