The Foundation of How We Work

The 3 C’s — Competent, Confident, and Current — form the foundation of every training program we deliver.

Competent workers improve safety, efficiency, and profitability

Confident workers lead by example and help create positive, proactive workplaces

Current workers keep their skills up to date, ensuring compliance and capability

What That Looks Like in Action

How SOS delivers real outcomes on-site:

Competency

We start by getting to know your business — talking to owners, supervisors, and workers to understand your specific tasks and challenges. From there, we design training that’s cost-effective, simple, and precise, ensuring every worker is capable and compliant. Our Verification of Competency (VOC) assessments confirm that skills are applied safely and correctly on the job.

Confidence

We go beyond compliance to build real confidence on the worksite. Our trainers coach and encourage workers to recognise their strengths and develop new ones — helping them see that safety isn’t complicated when it’s taught the right way. Once they know it, they own it.

Currency

We make it easy to keep safety knowledge and skills up to date. SOS develops clear, practical documents and resources tailored to your machinery, equipment, and processes — ensuring your team always has current information they can understand and apply on-site.
