How will the assessment be done in Better Work facilities using Tool v1.4?
Better Work will follow its existing process and will keep its general service model intact.
SLCP and BW have jointly concluded that BW’s assessment process and quality assurance
framework is at minimum on par with SLCP’s verification protocol and oversight
mechanism. In this context, the Better Work assessment data and SLCP verification data can be considered comparable, regardless of unique processes. While Better Work teams will
have visibility over the self-assessed data during the assessment, they will conduct an
independent assessment. Better Work will not verify self-assessments and will not act as a
verifying body.
Better Work has not contributed to the content of Step 2 and Step 3, and does not assess
against Steps 2 and 3 of CAF v1.4. For Steps 2 and 3, the Better Work system will allow
factory self-assessed data to be entered on the Better Work platform and transmitted to the
SLCP Gateway (should the factory wish).
