Level 3 prevention advisor training

The regulations and overarching structure in terms of safety and prevention legislation and the welfare law in Belgium are explained.
We go over the different legislations, how they fit together, as well as the importance of the Codex and the predefined standards.

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

A first introduction to the framework of a legally compliant prevention policy.

We go over the different components of the dynamic risk management system. 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, the trainee will learn all the important methods, terms and other considerations needed to perform an in-depth and correct risk analysis.

We go over the various fire risks that a prevention adviser may encounter in the field, before discussing in detail the form and importance of a strong fire prevention policy.

First aid is a hugely important part of a prevention policy – every prevention consultant does their best to prevent accidents, but a careful first aid policy is critical to minimise the impact of accidents in the workplace.

We also look at where special workers (such as trainees, job students, temporary workers, etc.) fit legally and practically in the context of 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 is not limited to the actions of workers in direct contact with high-risk equipment, agents and operations.

We elaborate on the more subtle concepts within prevention (ergonomics, hygiene, psychosocial aspects) that are important when putting together a prevention policy that also takes into account less conspicuous factors, and respects the danger of creeping risks such as, for example, poor seating position or poor hygiene in a shared space.

Chemical agents play an indispensable role within numerous sectors and companies in Belgium.
They can speed up processes and simplify work, but it is hugely important to exercise sufficient patience, precision and caution.

We go over the existing risks, the prevention framework and the various conditions and legislations surrounding them.

What exactly does a prevention adviser do? Who exactly plays what role, and how does this fit together in practice?

We go over the obligations, partnerships and responsibilities that shape correct and decisive prevention policies.

In this module, we take a strong practical view: we go over numerous risks and their corresponding prevention profiles within the context of practice.

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

We elaborate on the role that machines play in the daily reality of a company, what risks they entail and how a prevention policy can provide an answer to these.
We also go over in detail the different forms of personal protective equipment (PPE), and how, in practice, they are an important factor in protecting both employees and outsiders.
