“National Occupational Standards (NOS) can help to determine the health and safety competencies needed for particular jobs”

Source: Quarry regulations 1999 (L118)

The UK government describes the National Occupational Standard as:

“A document that describes the knowledge, skills and understanding an individual needs to be competent at a job.”

 

Minerals Matter also works closely with the Quarries Joint Advisory Committee (QNJAC) to help review or develop National Occupational Standards (NOS).

Made up of several working groups, QNJAC focuses on developing support and guidance on important industry topics.
