It is moving that way.. 
However, the interesting archaeolgical discussion from Wombat, about the standards and checking his company enforces, makes me loathe to move it.
Would it be (or this unfair) fair to say that somebody who checks every CV and reference is the exception rather than the rule.. at least if you are dealing with a large project such as a pipeline... having a Health and Safety would normally not really be an option, as it is compulsory with all contractors of such a project..
Vetting is an interesting concept, as it requires a set of conditions and requirements that a person must meet before they are eligible for employment... thats a very intersting concept... but say - for example the requirement is for own transport.. or such like... is that a fair request ( is it legal?? has insurance been sorted - whats the transport for? ) I note you say that CVs are checked 'where possible' tand thats good, but not fair on thse who have been checked if there are those that have not..
I do think the sooner we have a nationally recognised skills verification/training system.. then we will all be better off.
Wombat brings up interesting concepts, however the realities (that fill the BAJR Hotline folder) is that they might be unusual in their care to vetting a person.
