Work Ready / Work Capable Process
Work Ready = Has been on a training course and has some knowledge/skills
Work Capable = Work Ready, + field experience and competency assessed
- Competency criteria are based on “on-the-job” experience statements
- Competency assessments may be simulated and may contain task or role exposure
- Individual (SME) assessing competence must be at a work capable level
- Before anyone works unsupervised on an electricity generation site they must first be assessed as being work capable
- Assessment of competency is an employer responsibility (see Competency Assessment Criteria for details)
- Some training (e.g. First Aid/CPR) doesn’t require “on-the-job” competency assessment, rather the individual will be deemed competent after completing the necessary course (see Competency Matrix for details).

StayLive has developed a Work Ready/Work Capable model to capture competencies and endorsement of competency:
