E-learning Preventiemedewerker Add to favorites

Every organisation must employ at least one prevention officer. If there are fewer than 25 employees, the employer may fulfil this role. The number of prevention officers per company depends on the nature, size, distribution and risks of the business operations. The prevention officer is responsible for all matters relating to safety, health and well-being within the company. He or she is therefore expected to be aware of the regulations and to be able to translate them to their own business situation.

The tasks of the prevention officer have become increasingly important and have been formulated more explicitly in the Working Conditions Act. Employers are required to delegate the prevention tasks to one or more prevention officers within their organisation. These own employees assist the employer in the daily care for safe and healthy working conditions. They are an accessible point of contact for colleagues with questions about safety and health in the workplace and support colleagues in working in accordance with the safety regulations.

Safety and care are important components of business operations. After all, it concerns the well-being of employees, customers and guests.
