How does a Network Operator suspend or lift the suspension of a competency?

Occasionally, it may be necessary to suspend a RIW cardholder’s National competency. Where the competency is a requirement of a job role, in the event the competency is suspended, the job role will also become invalid.

In addition, if that competency is assigned as a requirement (for entry to a Network, Project or Site), suspending the competency would prohibit the RIW cardholder from accessing the network, project or site having this requirement.

When appropriate, a suspended National competency can be restored to a valid state. It is only possible to do this directly from the RIW cardholder’s record via the National Competencies tab.

This instruction applies to the following RIW System User Roles:

Step 4: National Competencies tab

Click on the National Competencies tab located down the left hand side of the screen.
