Competency in Integrity Programs

What this topic covers

Why inspectors, engineers, analysts, technicians and planners need role-appropriate competence.

Core ideas

Different integrity tasks require different knowledge and authorization.

Competence includes training, experience, assessment and familiarity with site procedures.

Organizations should avoid treating software output as a substitute for competent review.

Program tradeoffs

Overdue findings and inspections should be evaluated by significance and governed escalation rather than hidden in averages.

What good evidence looks like

Assurance verifies traceability from risk and inspection through decision, work execution and closure.

Lifecycle perspective

Competence, change management and data governance are core parts of technical integrity.
