Part 145.30(e) Personnel Requirements
The organisation shall establish and control the competence of personnel involved in any maintenance, management and/or quality audits in accordance with a procedure and to a standard agreed by the competent authority.
AMC 145.A.30(e) Personnel requirements
1. The referenced procedure requires amongst others that planners, mechanics, specialised services staff, supervisors and certifying staff are assessed for competence by 'on the job' evaluation and/or by examination relevant to their particular job role within the organisation before unsupervised work is permitted. A record of the qualification and competence assessment should be kept.
Competence should be continually assessed in an approved organisation as the relevant Regs point out and this includes certifying staff. I wonder just how many organistions would stand close scrutiny on this subject?
