Developing a system that aligns, builds and measures competence with every role for safer work.
How To Develop A
Safety Competency
System

You may already have training records, safety inductions, and compliance checks in place. But ask yourself: are you really sure every worker has the right safety skills for the job at hand?
The reality can be sobering:
- Does your safety training stop at induction—and fail to prepare people for the specific tasks they face?
- Do you rely on certificates and tests that show knowledge, but not real-world safe performance?
- As a line manager, are you left guessing whether workers—or contractors—are truly competent for today’s safety-critical tasks?
- Is your current training record or LMS system giving you real insight into safety competence, or just a log of completed courses?
- Do you even have a clear safety competency framework that maps the skills needed for each role in your organisation?
If these questions hit close to home, you’re not alone. Many organisations are struggling with the same challenges. And that’s why this webinar is designed for you.
In this free live session, human factors and safety specialist Ian Pemberton will show you how to:
- Create a safety competency framework that maps the safety skills required for every role.
- Build a Safety Competency System that integrates generic induction safety training with role-specific skills.
- Make this framework part of daily operations, so you and your line managers can easily check, track, and manage safety competence in real time.
Are You Facing These Safety Challenges?
- Your safety training ticks compliance boxes—but doesn’t always translate into safer work.
- You don’t have a clear framework for what safety competencies each role should have.
- You struggle to verify whether workers are safety-competent for today’s job.
- Contractors often arrive “qualified on paper” but lack the safety skills for the actual tasks.
- Your records show safety training events, but not ongoing competence or experience.
If this sounds familiar, this free webinar is for you.

Ian Pemberton is a Chartered Ergonomist, Human Factors Specialist, and leading authority on workplace safety performance and system design. With over 25 years of experience, Ian has helped organisations across industries rethink how safety is supported—designing systems that align with real work and strengthen decision-making where it matters most.
Drawing on his background in Cognitive Systems Engineering (CSE) and Safety Resilience, Ian brings evidence-based insights into how organisations can move beyond compliance and build practical systems that truly improve safety.
In this session, Ian will show you how CSE principles can be applied to create and implement an effective Safety Competency System—one that maps the safety skills every role requires and supports safer work at the point of harm.
