Is a prevention adviser mandatory?

As a company, you are obliged to set up an internal prevention service that ensures a policy on prevention and safety, but this is not an obvious task. Often, the internal prevention adviser combines several functions simultaneously and does not have the expertise to identify all risks and prevention measures within your company. Therefore, you can call upon an external prevention adviser, such as Premed. We have the necessary experience and know the legal framework that we translate into concrete actions on the shop floor. With Premed, you bring in the necessary expertise and are legally compliant. Killing two birds with one stone!

What is a global prevention plan? 

Has a risk assessment identified the hazards in your work environment? Then we will look together at how we can limit or eliminate them. With a global prevention plan, you have an overview of the risks present in the workplace and the concrete prevention measures that you as a company can take against them. A prevention plan is valid for the next five years and is reviewed annually. Premed's experts always take into account your company's activities, procedures, and size for an effective tailor-made plan.

How can Premed help you?  

  • We advise you by phone or in writing to prevent physical and psychosocial harm: from neck complaints to bullying. Premed has the know-how to keep your work environment healthy and stimulating.
  • At your request, we provide a detailed prevention plan. We visit your work environment, consider the identified hazards, and draw up a personalized plan.
  • During periodic company visits, we evaluate the present risks and formulate appropriate prevention measures.

Frequently asked questions

The employer is responsible for both the Global Prevention Plan (GPP) and the Annual Action Plan (AAP).

The Global Prevention Plan describes the company's complete policy regarding well-being at work and contains the risk assessment and long-term strategic objectives.

The Annual Action Plan specifies which concrete measures and actions will be carried out within one year to achieve the objectives of the GPP. The employer must draw this up in consultation with the internal or external prevention adviser and employee representatives, but ultimately remains legally liable for the implementation.
