Prevention Officer Training (online)

Every company, regardless of size, is obliged to appoint at least one prevention officer. This obligation, laid down in the Working Conditions Act, also applies to smaller organizations with a maximum of 25 employees, where the owner himself may fulfill this role. A well-trained prevention officer is essential for limiting and managing occupational risks. Without proper knowledge and skills, risks can go unnoticed, leading to injury, illness, or other employee health problems. In addition, the absence of adequate preventive measures may expose the organization to legal and financial risks. An online training course provides the prevention officer with the opportunity to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills in a flexible and efficient manner, without spending time and costs on travel. This training ensures that the prevention officer is directly equipped to identify, manage risks and ensure safety and health within the organization.
