In today’s modern working environment, there are many demands on a maintenance professional’s time and mindset that may impact on their performance. Introducing a robust Competency Management System can achieve several prevention goals linked to System Failure, which has been identified in HeliOffshore’s Safety Performance Model as one of the prime accident events.

By reviewing maintenance professionals’ key skills and competencies, competency-based training assessments also offer an opportunity for personal development for employees and can provide a link to improve communication and trust between all parties. The assessments can create opportunities for business development, as operators can utilise the data to evaluate their capabilities as a company and plan future training requirements.

HeliOffshore’s recommended practices for Maintenance Competency-Based Training Assessments provide practical guidance for implementing assessments effectively and successfully.
