If your organization conducts works at big constructions sites in the European Union as a main contractor or a sub-contractor, it needs to meet the requirements related to occupational safety. It shall, primarily, have a Personal Safety Logbook and certificate for:
- operational personnel (locksmiths, bricklayers, welders, etc.) and
- operational management.
SCC rules from 2011 prescribe that, from 1 January 2012 onward, exams for personnel and personnel certification may be conducted only by an accredited Personnel Certification Service in line with ISO 17024.
In the late December 2011, TÜV Thüringen, thereby TUVadria d.o.o. as well, was accredited by the German accreditation body DAkkS for SCC personnel.
The process of obtaining a Personal Safety Logbook is:
- 24-session training according to the TÜV Academy or SCC committee curriculum (in case there are more participants, this is conducted in-house at the company) – after the training, each participants is awarded by TÜV Academy a certificate on SCC training stating the topics covered.
- preparation of candidates for an exam which lasts 105 minutes and consists of 70 multiple-choice questions for operational management and 60 minutes with the total of 40 multiple-choice questions for operational personnel. After the have passed the exam (the minimum of 70% of answers are correct), each participants shall be awarded a certificate issued by the TÜV Thüringen International Certification (in German or English) and a Personal Safety Logbook containing data on employer and logbook owner which shall be valid for 10 years.
The advantages over a SCC training abroad are: training and exam are in the local language and prices of the service are significantly lower.
The person the PS Logbook and certificate have been awarded to is their owner and not the company. Employee shall keep the PS Logbook safe and present it upon a request by relevant EU institutions.
Extensive experience which characterizes our inspectors with valid European accreditations is a guarantee for efficient work and fulfilment of your requests.
