Implementation assistance:
SCL Knowledge Partners

Improving safety culture in organisations

Want to get started with the Safety Culture Ladder, but not sure where to start? Working on culture and behaviour can sometimes seem abstract. Fortunately, you are not alone.

It is possible to implement SCL independently. Yet many companies find that extra support helps to build momentum and avoid pitfalls. Especially with the deadline of 1 July 2026 in sight, an efficient approach is important.

What is an SCL Knowledge Partner?

SCL Knowledge Partners are consultancies that work closely with NEN. They are close to the source and are the first to know about the latest developments surrounding the standard and certification. Because they participate in the central SCL Knowledge Platform, they constantly exchange practical experiences and successful approaches (best practices) with each other.

Why use an expert?

A Knowledge Partner will help you make the standard practical and understandable for your business.

  • Certainty: You work with consultants who know the SCL mindset inside out.
  • Practical: They translate theory into workable steps in the workplace.
  • Speed: You are taken by the hand, working purposefully towards the desired outcome (e.g. step 3).

Become an SCL Knowledge Partner: share your expertise

Demand for Safety Culture Ladder support is growing. With the (approaching) obligation from the Governance Code Safety in Construction (GCVB), many SMEs are looking for practical guidance to reach Step 3. As a consulting firm or an independent specialist, you can make a difference.

Are you an expert in safety culture, attitude and behaviour? And do you want to help organisations structurally embed safe working practices? Then join us as SCL Knowledge Partner.

Why join the SCL Knowledge Platform?
As a Knowledge Partner, you work with NEN and other experts. You benefit from:

  • Direct knowledge: you are the first to know about developments around certification scheme and standard.
  • Visibility: your agency will appear in the official directory on this website, where clients and contractors seek support.
  • Collaboration: you get access to the Knowledge Platform to exchange experiences and practical examples.
