Background
The Verisafe VoC Framework was developed to improve workplace safety.
Under the Mines Safety Inspection Act 1994 and Occupational Safety and Health Act 1984, employers have a duty of care to ensure workers have the necessary experience, skills and/or competency to safely complete work tasks.
While various training programs and the introduction of the High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) go some way to providing relevant skills and knowledge, they do not provide the industry with confidence that individuals possess the necessary requirements to actually work at the assessed level.
