A commentary on routes to competence in the construction sector [electronic resource] - Harrogate HSE 2011 - Research Report RR877 .

The key questions of this research are whether current routes to competence - qualifications (both work-based and college-based), short courses, safety passport courses, competent person development, as well as on-the-job mentoring and general experience - are adequate for the sector, and whether our understanding of what makes a construction worker 'competent', in the deepest health and safety sense, remains sufficiently robust for current-day needs.
