Encouraging
staff to attain their licence Employers and managers are expected to encourage
staff engaged in the relevant categories of work to obtain IRSE Licences and
to grant the facilities for doing so. Employers should provide their staff with log books
meeting the requirements of the Licensing Scheme and encourage and assist
staff to complete and maintain those log books, to record their
qualifications, training and experience. Employers are expected to assist staff to gain the
necessary experience in order to meet all the performance criteria of the
licence category being sought, and to provide facilities in the workplace for
assessments to be carried out. Responsibilities for the surveillance process Employers are expected to review the work of those
of their staff who are licence holders, at least annually, as part of their
normal competence management strategy, to ensure that they continue to
consistently work to the standards required The periodic review should include an examination of
the licence holder’s log book to check that the records of work
experience and other information is accurate and up to date. The certifier
should annotate the entries to indicate that the check has been made, and
should record their name, contact details and relationship to the licence
holder. If the employer finds that the licence holder has
not maintained the necessary competencies for any of the categories of work
included on the licence, the Licensing Registrar should be informed as soon
as possible. |
