Topic: Importance of HSE Competency

Abstract:
Competency can be described as the combination of Knowledge, Skills and Attitude that the person has, which are qualifying him/her to perform the assigned tasks efficiently as required. Competence in Health and safety should be considered as vital component of workplace activities, not an add-on or afterthought.

As an employer, it is very essential to make sure that any person performing a particular task/assignment on your behalf has the required competency and experience to do without putting the health and safety of themselves or others at significant risk. It is very important for companies and organizations to create HSE culture among the staff and stakeholders. Moreover, that can be enhanced by creating suitable policies and procedures which are considered as a guidance for all the entity’s staff and stakeholders.
