Construction company Van Roey: aware of a security
“After it was launched in 1994 with the creation of a security according to the SCC – Safety Checklist Contractors – was with us a decrease in the frequency rate of accidents,” claims Jef Ceulemans, VKM-responsible building in Van Roey. “Today that figure remains fairly constant, however, which means that it is not easy for a new breakthrough. The first factor that plays a role, the influence of the newcomers, workers with limited seniority. We find that, despite the welcome and the support they receive relatively more involved in accidents than workers who has been employed. This is certainly a part of the lack of skilled labor in the. A second factor is the high time pressure is present at some sites and caused by the very tight timetable, which we faced in recent years.
Statistics show that most accidents occur in our company during travels over the yard – stumbling, is colliding with an obstacle, turn on one foot obstacle – which usually is not too much off work involves. The attention to cleanliness and order in the yards is one way this type of accidents plague. ”
As the severity of the accidents Jef Ceulemans suggests that this characteristic may vary from year to year. “The consequences of an accident are often unpredictable. Someone who can stumble back then straighten out the dust from his clothes and touch wood go, or he may be a complicated wrist broken up by several months due to disability. ”
The severity of the accident is certainly an important factor. “Serious accidents – in the definition above indicates that the welfare law – because the format requires a detailed report by the prevention service,
for Monitoring the Welfare to Work. The detailed report should indicate a plan of prevention measures. TWW may also, in response to the report, even impose additional measures. The cost of these actions can be considered as indirect costs of the accident, while the other is aimed at preventing similar accidents in the future, “says Jef Ceulemans.” We assume that the indirect costs 2 to 3 times larger than the direct (insured) cost. This information, along with the size of the insurance premium, used in the training sessions for management staff, with the aim to sensitize them for security. “
