Why is competence important?
• Rita Donaghy enquiry for DWP - Phase 2 Report – underlying causes of construction fatalities - Review and sample analysis of recent construction fatal accidents, July 2009
• Details of 28 construction fatal accidents• The method adopted was developed from the Human Factors
Analysis and Classification system• There was an association with training deficiencies in 11
deaths (39%, more than 1 in 3)• It was concluded in 7 deaths that inadequate experience also
contributed to poor competence or suitability (25%, 1 in 4)• So, 18 deaths (64%, just under 2 in 3) associated with
competence
![Page 11: ConstructionSkills](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/568147c0550346895db5046a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Occupational Competence:
• The National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) are based upon standards written in partnership with employers and industry. They are made up of:
• Core skills and knowledge• Specific skills and knowledge related to the occupation• Combined together through understanding acquired
through experience
![Page 12: ConstructionSkills](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/568147c0550346895db5046a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The core knowledge and skills units include a mandatory element common to all Craft, Trade and Operative NVQs :
• VR01: Conform to General Workplace Safety• VR02: Conform to Efficient Work Practices• VR03: Move and Handle Resources

ConstructionSkills’ work with industry
• Work with Industry to establish occupational standards, including those for H&S (National Occupational Standards, NOS)
• Develop and deliver vocational qualifications based upon the NOS (National Vocational Qualifications, NVQs)
• Train workers for then assess their retained knowledge and skill in a working environment
• CSkills’ H&S test helps establish a common benchmark for basic H&S knowledge
• SMEs need competent workers as their business performance depends on fewer individuals

• Standards change over time• National vocational qualifications offer one
of the few assessed routes to competence• Competence is essential for SMEs as the
performance of their businesses depends on fewer individuals
