Generally, there are three categories of activities that would contribute to CPD
hours, namely:
(a)
3.2
The objective of the first CPD hour generating category of activities is to ensure
the Competent Persons continue to update their knowledge on the subject matter
they are certified in. For example a CePIETSO, would need to enhance further
understanding of the subject matter of IETS and keep abreast of the latest
developments on IETS issues. Similarly, CePSWaMs are also required to
deepen their understanding and keep up to date with the latest issues in
scheduled waste management.
3.3
The second category of activities aims to ensure that the Competent Persons are
still involved in the operational issues related to the subject matter they are
6
certified in and the operational aspects related to the subject matter have not
been left out entirely from their list of duties / responsibilities. Additionally, the
second category of activities gives credits to Competent Persons in discharging
their daily responsibilities as required by law.
