STAFF COMPETENCY PROGRAM

Competency is an individual's skills, knowledge, and capability to meet defined expectations towards his/her job responsibilities. All AO's require employees to demonstrate acceptable competency in all assigned job responsibilities. Maintaining current competency plays a critical role in tracer reviews.

• Our Competency Program document includes policies and processes used for maintaining and assessing staff competency and pertinent checklists created on the basis of:
  • Routine Test Performance
  • Recording and Reporting of Test Results
  • Quality Control
  • Proficiency Testing
  • Problem Solving Skills
  • Preventive Maintenance
• Necessary checklists and references are provided, including:
  • Incidence/Accident Logs
  • Safety Audit checklist
  • Chemical Inventory
  • Reference web site list
  • Any other document unique to your laboratory
• When the writing of this program is combined with on-site consultation, we also train and coach lab management and section supervisors how to compile competency assessment documents out of the day-to-day routine rather than reserving separate time slots for these tasks. We can actually put together the Competency Program file for each employee.
• We also offer our service to perform yearly competency assessments for you We do this on the staff member's scheduled tour of duty and with the least interruption of the testing routine.
