Competence IQ

Proof that a person is qualified for the task they are about to perform built from two independent forms of evidence, because for US pipeline operators one is not enough.

Proof of Competence

What the rule actually says

If you operate a pipeline in the United States, you already have to do this.

You must prove qualification

Every operator has to show that each worker is qualified for each covered task they perform – and re-prove it on a schedule the operator sets.

One method is not enough

Watching someone do the job has been barred as the only method of evaluation since December 2004. Checking their work history has been barred as a sole method since 2002.

Simulation is named in the rule

The accepted methods are a written exam, an oral exam, observation on the job, on-the-job training – and simulation.

Which is why it takes two of ours

Genesis is the simulation. Assess IQ is the observation. Together they are two accepted methods, which is what the rule demands. Neither one alone will do it.

What you get

Record

A competence record per person, per task

Not a course completion. A record of demonstrated capability against a named task.

Evidence

Both halves, in one place

What they knew, and what they were seen to do – with the underlying evidence attached.

Renewal

Expiry the system tracks

Qualifications lapse. The interval is yours to set; keeping track of it should not be.

You are already required to do this.

The question is not whether to prove competence. It is whether the proof stands up when somebody asks for it – and whether producing it costs you a trainer’s month or a system’s afternoon.
