Awareness of health and safety at work
The Safety Culture Ladder (SCL) is the hallmark that measures and improves safety awareness, attitude and behaviour. Where traditional systems focus on paper processes, the SCL measures not what you promise on paper, but what you actually do in practice. From the construction site to the office: we make integral safety measurable and discussable.
Suitable for every type of organisation and size who take safety seriously. Safety must be reflected in culture, attitude and behaviour on a daily basis. SCL encourages companies and their suppliers to consciously work safely and healthily.
The SCL looks at integral safety: from physical safety on the building site to psychosocial safety in the office, such as daring to call colleagues to account for unsafe behaviour. The SCL is a growth model for every sector, designed to structurally reduce incidents, absenteeism and damage.
At the technical division of the Amsterdam transport company GVB, around 700 staff members work on the tracks and rolling stock every day. The aim is to improve the working environment
How can we strengthen organisations’ safety culture whilst continuing to improve the Safety Culture Ladder? That question is central to the SCL Kennispartners platform. On
NEN has asked the Construction Safety Governance Code (GCVB) to clarify the communication regarding the acceptance of VCA-MAX as supplementary evidence within ‘Safety in Tendering’
Whether you are an auditor playing a role in assessment, looking to assess your own organisation or an organisation wanting to understand what the Safety Culture Ladder is all about, there is always a suitable training course.

"The SCL helps to start the conversation and ask yourself together, for example, why someone is not wearing that helmet at a certain time when it is the rule. That way you get much more awareness from your employee. Together, we take safety to the next level."
"Using the SCL increased and changed the energy on the subject of safety. Once it becomes clear that SCL is about behaviour and attitude rather than procedures, rules or documents, a completely different view of safety emerges. That was nice to see with us too."
“Really, the SCL was the missing link we needed to add to hard agreements and rules to influence people’s attitudes and behaviour and improve safety.”
Do you need support in implementing SCL? Or do you want to progress to a higher rung on the ladder, for example because you have to comply with rung 3 from a tendering requirement? Our Knowledge Partners are close to the source and ready to help you.
