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 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.
