What is occupational safety?

A legally required risk assessment tells you what hazards exist in your company and what measures you can take for a safer environment.

As an employer, you must ensure a safe and healthy working environment, especially when your employees work in exceptional circumstances, such as at height, along busy roads, with machinery, hazardous substances, or in extreme climatic conditions. You do this not only with the necessary protective equipment and safety instructions, but also with a clear prevention plan for industrial accidents and fire hazards. Does your working environment meet safety standards?

Frequently asked questions

An investigation by the prevention adviser is necessary to systematically analyse the causes of a (serious) accident, so that recurrence can be prevented and workplace safety is improved. This investigation must take place immediately or as soon as possible after the accident, as soon as the situation is safe and first aid has been completed, so that testimonies are fresh and the accident can be accurately reconstructed.

A workplace accident is an accident that occurs during or because of work and causes harm to an employee. The employer must report this to the insurer in a timely manner.

A fire prevention file contains the result of the risk assessment, organisation of the fire-fighting service, intervention plans, results of evacuation drills, fire protection measures, inspections and deviations.
