The Federal Safety Commissioner has published an updated fact sheet on verifying the Competency of mobile plant operators. The updated fact sheet responds to industry feedback and seeks to clarify the requirements set out in the previous fact sheet.

This guidance is particularly relevant to the expectation on accredited companies under audit criteria H16.8 which requires safety systems to be in place that ensure all workers operating mobile plant are licensed, trained or competent.

The updated fact sheet is available on the useful documents and downloads page.

Any questions regarding the content of the fact sheet should be directed to OFSC@dewr.gov.au.
