Specialized training for safe lifting, working at height and in confined spaces & GWO
Competentie en bewustwording: de basis voor een veilige werkplek
Veilig werken is meer dan het volgen van regels; het is een cultuur, gedragen door competente en bewuste medewerkers. Als werkgever ben je volgens de Arbowet verplicht om te zorgen voor "doeltreffend onderricht". Maar een écht veilige operatie vraagt om meer dan dat. Het vraagt om een investering in de praktische vaardigheden en het risicobewustzijn van je team. De trainingen van Mennens zijn ontwikkeld om precies dat te leveren.
Wij bieden geen saaie theoriecursus, maar een praktijkgerichte ervaring die de competentie van je mensen verhoogt, de veiligheidscultuur versterkt en jouw organisatie aantoonbaar compliant maakt.
Why trained personnel are essential
As an employer, you are legally required to properly instruct your employees and keep their knowledge up to date. Effective training:
- Increases workplace safety
- Reduces risks and incidents
- Ensures compliance with laws and regulations
- Enhances awareness and sense of responsibility
Training is therefore an essential part of working safely.
Dirk van Blijswijk on the importance of proper training
“Safety is 20% technology and 80% behavior. Our trainers are practitioners who speak the language of your employees and can drive cultural change.”
Learning by doing
Our training programs are practice-oriented and include:
- Theoretical instruction on laws and regulations
