Guidelines

Guidelines are the published outcomes from the working groups. They aim to improve practices and consistency across the electricity industry.

Training and Competency

StayLive has developed a new competency based training framework. The aim of the framework is to help ensure the quality and consistency of training and competency across the industry. The Guideline extends the cycle of training from theoretical knowledge, demonstration of skills and behaviours to ongoing development of capability.

Overview

The capability of people working within our industry is critically important for the safe execution of work on our sites. Ensuring that people have the right training and competencies is fundamental. Within the electricity industry technical resources are often shared. Efficiency and safety can therefore be increased through consistent industry standards. StayLive members have agreed to align compliance competency standards and refresher frequencies.

Content

The StayLive Training & Competency Framework includes the following principles:
  • Work Ready: Can demonstrate theory, knowledge and skills
  • Work Capable: Demonstrated practicable application of theory
  • Development of Capability: Ongoing management of competencies and capability

Key topics covered within the framework include:

  • Roles and accountabilities

  • Competency lifecycle

  • Competency matrix

  • Competency assessment criteria.

To assist with the implementation of the new framework a User Guide has been developed, StayLive Training and Competence Guideline. Links to Competency Criteria Forms are provided below.
