It is not enough to know what the right thing to do is you have to act on it.
Education, training and experience are part of the definition of competence, the part that gets missed is to work safely. That is the part that requires action.
If you do an inspection on a harness, piece of equipment or spot an unsafe condition, do you have the power to act. Can you take the harness out of service? Can you tag out the equipment? What will happen if you stop work because it is unsafe?
If you cannot take action you are not competent at your job.
