Awareness of health and safety at work

Improving safety awareness

The Safety Culture Ladder (SCL) is the tool to measure safety awareness in organisations. The higher your company ranks on the ladder, the better its safety awareness. 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.

Experiences with the SCL

What does the certification process involve?

If you would like to obtain an SCL certificate or statement for your organisation, make sure you work through every step of the step-by-step plan. It describes everything you need to do: step-by-step. Depending on the product you are interested in, the first step could be a self-assessment. If it is, we have a handy SAQ webtool that you can use for this purpose.
