Drinking-water operators: determining the required qualification profile
Identify installations and duties before choosing the certificate and qualification pathway.
This guide does not provide water-treatment instructions; operations require appropriate competence and procedures.
Describe the installations
Distinguish water capture, treatment, distribution and tanker delivery. Also identify clientele and municipal or non-municipal status because competence and supervision requirements differ. [1]
Identify duties
Pipe maintenance and commissioning can also require a competent person or immediate supervision. Describe actual duties rather than relying only on the job title. [1]
Use the profile tool
Consult the official profile tool with the installation manager. If uncertain, have classification and required qualifications confirmed by the responsible ministry. [2]
Plan the matching pathway
Once the profile is established, use the matching certificate page to prepare registration and training. Keep the classification in the file so needs can be reassessed when the installation changes. [2]
