GLOSSARY / Training & competence

Task-specific competence

The combination of relevant knowledge, skills and experience needed to carry out a defined task appropriately. Evidence should relate to the actual work being contracted.

THE RRS GLOSSARY

Why it matters to a project

For specialist explosive risk work, clients should understand the proposed person’s role, relevant qualifications, experience and limits. A broad job title is not enough to define every capability.

PROJECT EXAMPLE

A contractor provides documentary evidence matched to a requested technical supervision role.

A useful distinction

Experience in one environment does not automatically establish competence for every different operation.
