Can you be competent and incapable?  Are we after sector competence then?  I have read and reveiwed a large number of documents purporting to be an FRA some of which are poor, some of which are worse than that and occasionally you may find a gem.  However, in a large number of cases the assessor is led by the methodology being used and perhaps it is that which needs dealing with and not individuals.  I would say that if you gave a scenario to most competent fire safety professionals and asked them to write something on a blank piece of paper they would cover all points required, it seems to me that thought gets lost in the completion of a form.
We can be considered "Competent" by virtue of our background or experience but we can still be "incapable". Trust me Jokar, I have seen many "competent" people who are totaly incapable.
