What does the legislation say?

Legally, a prevention advisor must have the necessary knowledge regarding well-being at work. This includes the coordination of prevention activities, the preparation of risk assessments and the functioning of the internal prevention committee (CPBW).
The level of knowledge required (1, 2 or 3) depends on the size of the company and the risks to which employees are expose More information on this can be found in our blog.
Based on these criteria, companies are classified into four categories: A, B, C and D. For more information, you can check the FPS WASO website.

Teaching method

Customised course

A customised course carefully created by our experienced teachers in collaboration with the prevention team is used.

Module-based learning

The training consists of about 10 modules, built around welfare aspects, spread over about five contact moments.
This makes it easy to keep track of course progress.

Teaching moments

For each module, a teaching moment will take place where a Prevom instructor will introduce students to the subject, with plenty of time for questions and interaction.

Content and structure

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.

40 hours of learning

The course lasts 40 hours, spread between lectures and individual practice and testing moments, such as preparing a risk analysis and learning the prevention hierarchy.

Interactive learning

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

Lunch included

Lunch will be provided during each teaching day for a rest with your favourite sandwich.

Target audience

Corporations

This training allows you to train someone within your own company, with numerous benefits for your company!

For example, your new level 3 prevention advisor can take charge of managing your prevention policy - no one is closer to reality than your own staff.

Combine this with occasional support from an external expert and you will have a prevention policy to be proud of in no time!

Managers

As a manager of a (small) company, do you want to compose your own prevention policy in a correct and professional manner?

Thanks to this training, you will know exactly what you are getting into, both practically and legally.

Private individuals

Thanks to a level 3 prevention advisor training, you will have a strong fundamental understanding of safety, prevention and the associated welfare law.

It gives a (future) employer an additional reason to hire you: it helps them comply with the welfare law, even if you are hired to mainly perform an entirely different job.

“From experience, we know that complicated legislation combined with an initial lack of practical experience makes drawing up or updating a prevention policy challenging for a recently trained prevention adviser.

This is why at Prevom we opt to bring in experienced prevention consultants as lecturers, who speak from their practical experience.”
