In the demanding worlds of mining and construction, ensuring compliance and maintaining top-notch skills is vital for safety and productivity. One of the most effective ways to demonstrate that you’re meeting these high standards is through Verification of Competency (VOC) training. At Civil Safety, we recognise the importance of verifying the competencies of your workforce to keep your worksite safe and efficient. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of VOC assessments tailored for workers in these critical sectors.

What is Verification of Competency (VOC)?

Verification of Competency (VOC) is an assessment that confirms workers possess the essential skills and knowledge to perform their tasks safely and effectively. In industries like construction and mining, where safety is non-negotiable, a VOC assessment acts as evidence that you can competently operate machinery and carry out your responsibilities. This not only upholds safety standards but also reinforces the overall integrity of your projects.
