Competence Assurance
Cogent’s industry-endorsed Competence Assurance Framework, based on six “Key Principles” underpins our brand new web-based competence self-assessment tool and complementary toolkit.

It is a tailor-made online mechanism designed to meet the needs of companies in the process and manufacturing industries including petroleum refining, nuclear, chemicals, biotechnology, speciality chemicals, pharmaceuticals and polymers. It has been rigorously piloted with a range of businesses from across the Cogent sector and is underpinned by world-class standards.

It represents a total systems-check and offers the opportunity to reveal what you don’t know about your own procedures and systems, leaving no stone unturned. Uniquely, it provides a confidential self-examination of organisation-wide competence without any third-party involvement, allowing you, rather than the regulator, to identify areas of weakness.

The companies who have piloted this tool were a mix of top or lower tier COMAH and non COMAH sites. They have been able to critically examine their systems, which often operate in a highly-devolved environment and put in place actions which ensure competence management enshrines all business processes.
