VCA Vol - 2 days - French - Wetteren

VCA stands for Safety, Health and Environmental Checklist Contractors and is considered a general standard for safety.

The VCA-VOL training covers the same topics as the VCA basic training. The big difference is the depth and the approach to legislation from the supervisor's perspective.

In addition to the various hazards and risks, your tasks and responsibilities as an executive and your opportunities to influence safety are also discussed.

As a manager you have specific responsibilities within the framework of the hierarchical line and you take those tasks very seriously. You do not only bring the theoretical prevention concept into practice, you are also responsible if something goes wrong or if you have not exercised your authority.
