Knowledge leads to safety and, through targeted courses, employees can be made aware of the risks in the workplace and learn how to avoid them.

In this article, we discuss how the Working Safely courses contribute to a healthier and more productive work environment.

Knowledge increases safety

The courses ensure that employees are familiar with the safety procedures and regulations specific to their particular work environment. Employees learn how to recognise and avoid hazardous situations and the actions they should take in the event of an emergency. They develop the skills and knowledge that will make them more efficient and effective in their jobs.

A legal obligation for employers to train their employees

In Belgium (Netherlands & France?), companies are required to comply with strict safety standards. By providing regular safety training, companies will continue to comply with the legislation, as laid down in the Codex on Well-being at Work. This will avoid fines and potential legal issues.

Increased productivity and higher quality work

A safe working environment leads to fewer accidents and absenteeism due to illness, which improves productivity. Employees feel safer, resulting in greater motivation and efficiency in their work. Well-trained employees deliver a higher quality of work with fewer errors.

Increased confidence

When companies invest in training, it clearly demonstrates that they care about their employees' safety and well-being. This increases employee confidence in the company, and contributes to a positive corporate culture.

By investing in their development, employees feel valued, have increased job satisfaction and greater motivation.

Prevents (long-term) absenteeism

Well-trained employees understand how to work ergonomically and which safety measures they need to take to avoid physical harm. This reduces the risk of long-term incapacity for work, which benefits both employees and the company.
