Bureau Via sets up the VCU manual and integrates the VCU system together with NEN 4400-1 in the temporary employment agency. VCU certification that works in your daily practice.
The VCU certificate is intended for work that involves increased risks, for example in construction or industry. Employment agencies are not legally required to work with a VCU certificate, but there are more and more client companies that request such a certificate. The companies that do request certified temporary workers are generally very satisfied with the functioning of the VCU certification. A spokesperson for Shell states in this regard that it is reassuring to know that all employees have been properly instructed about the working conditions, the nature of the work and any risky situations that may arise.
To become VCU-certified, employees must follow a VCA course (if requested by the client) and the employment agency (or secondment agency) must meet the questions in the Safety Checklist for Employment Agencies (VCU). The questions in this checklist relate to Safety, Health and Environment (VGM) and you must be able to answer positively. But you must also be able to demonstrate this! By means of a VCU manual, you describe the safety procedures in your company to meet the VCU checklist. An independent body assesses your company and awards the VCU certificate.
