VIL-VCU is meant for those who work at a temporary employment or secondment organization and place people at companies with activities in high-risk environments. With a VIL-VCU diploma you can demonstrate that you have basic knowledge of the aspects of safety, environment and health. You also demonstrate that you know how the people you place can work safely and healthily for their clients.
VIL-VCU stands for Safety for Intermediaries and Managers (VIL) - Safety and Health Checklist for Temporary Employment Organizations (VCU). VIL-VCU is the personal designation for someone working at a temporary employment or secondment organization. With VIL-VCU you demonstrate that you have the necessary knowledge of the safety, health and environmental aspects that apply within companies. If you have a VIL-VCU diploma, companies know that you have the knowledge needed to select the right people to work in high-risk environments.
VIL-VCU deals with the possibilities you have to influence the creation of a safe work environment. This could include keeping clear records of the (safety) diplomas of each temporary worker and the work for which the temporary worker can be considered medically suitable.
If a client asks for VCU certification that applies to temporary staffing organizations, the people you place often have to hold a valid VCA or VCA diploma themselves in order to work at these companies.
In VIL-VCU, you will be taught the basics of VOL-VCA. VOL-VCA is the course for managers within organizations in the field of safety, health and environment. This course material is supplemented with information specifically applicable to the temporary employment sector. For example, the responsibilities of a temporary employment agency are discussed when it comes to safety on the work floor and liability in case of accidents or incidents. Attention is also paid to legislation concerning the relationship between the hirer, temporary employee and the temporary employment agency. Subjects that are part of VOL-VCA that are not relevant to you because you yourself do not perform work in a high-risk work environment are omitted in VIL-VCU.
