An internal prevention advisor provides guidance on workplace well-being policies and supports employers, supervisors, temporary workers and employees in implementing the well-being legislation within the workplace.

What does the legislation say?

Legally, an internal prevention advisor must possess the required knowledge and expertise in the field of workplace well-being. This includes coordinating prevention activities, carrying out risk assessments and understanding the role and operation of the internal prevention committee (CPBW).

The required level of knowledge (1, 2 or 3) depends on the size of the organisation and the specific risks employees may be exposed to. You can find more information about this topic in our blog.

Based on these criteria, companies are divided into four categories: A, B, C and D.
For further information, please consult the website of the FPS Employment, Labour and Social Dialogue.

The regulations and overarching framework relating to health and safety legislation and the Belgian Well-being at Work Act are explained.
We review the various laws and legal obligations, how they fit together, as well as the importance of the Code on Well-being at Work and the applicable standards.

We also go over the main internal and external actors: services, FPS employment/labour/social consultation, High Council PBW, …

Een eerste introductie tot het framework van een daadkrachtig preventiebeleid met globaal preventieplan conform de wettelijke verplichtingen.

We examine the various elements of the dynamic risk management system in detail. You will be given examples of an annual action plan and we will learn how to draw up an overall prevention plan and an annual action plan and the associated administrative obligations and form requirements.

In addition, participants learn all the key methods, concepts and considerations needed to perform a comprehensive and correct risk assessment.

We examine the different fire hazards a prevention advisor may encounter in practice, followed by an in-depth exploration of the structure and importance of an effective fire prevention policy.

First aid is a vital component of any prevention policy. While every prevention advisor aims to prevent accidents from occurring, a well-structured first aid policy is critical to limiting the consequences of workplace incidents.

In addition, we explore the legal and practical position of specific categories of workers (such as interns, student employees and temporary workers, …) within the framework of workplace prevention.

Gaining insights into the different types of workplace accidents, their causes and consequences is important for a prevention advisor.
Our experts orient the course participants, showing lots of practical and concrete examples to give a clear picture of the reality in the workplace in different sectors within Belgium.

Prevention goes beyond the actions and behaviour of employees who are directly exposed to hazardous equipment, agents and activities.

We further explore the more nuanced aspects of prevention (ergonomics, hygiene and psychosocial factors) that play an important role in developing a comprehensive prevention policy. This includes considering less visible risks and addressing gradual hazards, such as poor posture or insufficient hygiene in shared spaces.

Chemical agents are an indispensable part of many industries and organisations in Belgium.
They can accelerate processes and simplify tasks, but it is essential to approach their use with the necessary patience, accuracy and care.

We examine the existing risks, potential preventive measures, the prevention framework, and the various legal requirements and regulations associated with this topic.

What exactly is the role of a prevention advisor? Who is responsible for what, and how do these different roles work together in practice?

We examine the obligations, cooperation structures and responsibilities that form the foundation of a correct and effective prevention policy.

In this module, we take a practical approach by examining numerous risks and their associated prevention measures in real-world situations.

We also take a closer look at working with third parties and employer responsibilities.

We further explore the role of machinery in the day-to-day operations of an organisation, the risks associated with its use, and how a proactive prevention policy can address these risks through appropriate preventive measures.
We also examine the various types of personal protective equipment (PPE) in detail and discuss how, in practice, these protective measures contribute significantly to safeguarding both employees and third parties.

40 hours of learning

The Prevention Advisor Level 3 training comprises 40 hours, divided between classroom sessions and individual practice and assessment moments, including preparing a risk analysis and learning how to apply the prevention hierarchy.

Interactive learning

Our experts are happy to share their years of experience in different sectors with our trainees.

Lunch included

During each training day, we provide lunch, including your favourite sandwich, so you can take a well-deserved break.

“Experience has shown that complex legislation, combined with limited initial practical experience, can make the development or updating of a prevention policy a challenging task for newly trained prevention advisors.”

That is why, at Prevom, we choose to engage experienced prevention consultants as instructors, allowing them to share their expertise based on real-world practical experience.
