Internal risk prevention advisor
Every company needs an internal risk prevention advisor to safeguard the wellbeing of its employees. As an employer, you can take on this role yourself if you have 20 employees or fewer; larger organisations must assign the role to an employee. Got enough on your plate with your regular business? Don’t have the right expertise in-house? Then count on us: we’ll be happy to assist as a wellbeing partner.
What does your internal risk prevention advisor do?
Every company must have an internal occupational health and safety service, with at least one risk prevention advisor. What if you’re a small organisation? As an employer, you can take on the role yourself if you have up to 20 employees.
Your internal risk prevention advisor has an impressive set of tasks:
giving advice on safety at work, health and ergonomics
contributing to risk assessments
actively contributing to the General Risk Prevention Plan and Annual Action Plan
performing administrative tasks, including the annual report, monthly reports and reports of the occupational health and safety committee (OHSC).
