In sectors such as construction, engineering, maintenance and industry, safety is not an afterthought, but an absolute priority. Yet incidents happen every day due to carelessness, unclear agreements or lack of knowledge. This is precisely why VCA certification exists. But what is it exactly?
What is a VCA company certificate?
VCA stands for Safety, Health and Environmental Checklist Contractors. It is a certification system for companies that carry out work in high-risk environments. By obtaining an VCA certificate, you demonstrate that your company handles risks, prevention and safety in the workplace in a systematic and professional manner
The three types of VCA company certificates
Depending on the size of your company and the nature of your activities, there are three forms of certification:
- VCA*: for smaller companies without subcontractors
- VCA**: for larger companies or those working with subcontractors
- VCA-P: for companies active in the petrochemical sector
Each variant contains specific requirements, but they all build on one foundation: a structural approach to safety, health and environment in the daily operation of your company.
Why choose VCA company certification?
VCA certification is not an administrative exercise. It is an investment in quality, safety and competitiveness. You show that your organisation is capable of carrying out assignments with respect for legislation, procedures and the well-being of your employees.
The benefits of VCA certification at a glance:
