Prevention Advisor Antwerp
Safety and well-being in the workplace
Looking for a prevention advisor in Antwerp? Or do you urgently need a temporary replacement for your internal prevention advisor? Prevom supports organisations in the Antwerp region with professional advice and practical tailor-made solutions. From risk analyses to drafting a complete prevention policy — we ensure your company remains safe, healthy, and legally compliant.
What does a prevention advisor do?
A prevention advisor is responsible for:
- Drafting and implementing the Global Prevention Plan (GPP) and the Annual Action Plan (AAP)
- Conducting risk analyses (occupational safety, ergonomics, psychosocial well-being, etc.)
- Advising on investments in machinery or workplace layout
- Supporting workplace accident investigations
- Ensuring compliance with the Belgian Welfare Act and related Codex
Our advisors are fully familiar with Belgian workplace welfare legislation and the local sector-specific needs in Antwerp.
When are you required to appoint a prevention advisor?
According to Belgian welfare legislation, every employer must appoint at least one prevention advisor. The requirement varies depending on the number of employees and the risks within the sector:
- Fewer than 20 employees: the employer may act as prevention advisor if they have followed basic training and meet legal requirements
- 20 to 50 employees: an internal employee may take on this role, provided they have the necessary training
- More than 50 employees: an internal prevention service with a qualified prevention advisor (Level I or II) is mandatory, depending on company risks
