VCA - Basic: why should you follow this training? Are you a contractor or otherwise active in the construction sector? Then it is becoming increasingly important to obtain a VCA certificate. This training is the way to do that. VCA (Safety Checklist Contractors) is a certification system with which you demonstrate that your company and your employees pay sufficient attention to safety and prevention. If you want to be certified as a company, all operational employees and managers must - individually - have a VCA certificate. Most clients nowadays include VCA certification in their standard terms and conditions.
