Thanks, Randy - better your blood pressure than mine.............
Training isn't worth anything, neither is a record, without demonstrating competence, as already stated in many threads here.
Competence is a demonstration of skills and knowledge. A 'test' isn't necessary, per se, but someone needs to write up some form of criteria and observe if the operators can do that work, compared to the criteria.
It's not that difficult to come up with a number (say 7 - 10) of activities/tasks/things that someone must be able to do correctly to be allowed to do their work, without supervision. If they can meet the criteria, guess what - you need to take some action, which may include training...........
No other approach is going to be a) useful to the company or b) compliant with the standard.
You run a risk of passing an audit, on the other hand............
