ALFA - LARC Employees

The ALFA LARC Employees System is a web-based application enabling:

• Performance feedback - can rate an operatives’ performance across nine categories, covering asbestos competency and behaviour, with all ratings used to calculate an overall performance rating.
   
• Training Need Analysis – feedback from site supervisors can identify areas where an operative can improve, therefore supporting training and development.
   
• Ratings can be requested at any time – the Training Manager can request a rating at any time from a site supervisor, and there is flexibility to rate an operative on a specific type of asbestos work, perhaps one they have not worked on recently.
   
• Ratings can be scheduled - ratings for all employed operatives can be scheduled at set time intervals, for example every three months, and highlighted to the Training Manager when a rating needs to be arranged. Also, ratings can be scheduled per individual operative if required.
   
• Comments with rating – there is the option to enable a comment to be included against a rating category. All comments are recorded for the Training Manager to review and set any actions required, such as refresher training.
   
• Asbestos training – based on all individual ratings (minimum of two) on licensed work over the last 12 months, an operative could either undertake an operative refresher course or ARCA is offering an experienced operative refresher half day remote course, for those who meet the performance criteria (only available to operatives registered in ALFA).
   
• Certificate management – certificate information is easy to input and actual certificates can be uploaded, so all information is immediately available within ALFA. Also, certificates due to expire within 30 days are highlighted within the App so supporting renewal management.
   
• Print overall performance rating per operative – when an operative has an overall performance rating this can be printed, showing the percentage rating per category and certificate information is included. Ideal for including in a site information pack.
   
• Automated system – ALFA provides an online system for employed operatives’ information, ratings and certificates to be in one App. This information, including ratings, can be download into an excel spreadsheet for analysis.

This new ALFA LARC Employees system is a service ARCA is making available, at no cost, to all its asbestos removal contractor members.
