Invitation to participate in a survey to evaluate SCL products

NEN is about to conduct an evaluation of the SCL products, i.e. the SCL Original, the SCL, the SCL Light and the Approved Self-Assessment (SCL ASA).  The evaluation will consist of a survey and interviews. The purpose of the evaluation is to ascertain whether all products actually contribute to the objectives of the SCL and whether measuring health and safety culture using the different products contributes to a healthier and safer working environment. It is also important to identify any shortcomings and assess the impact from the perspective of the different interests involved.

The evaluation may lead to the various SCL products being adapted or new products being developed. The survey for the evaluation of SCL is still being prepared. Its availability is expected to be announced through various channels within a few weeks.

ViA evaluation

In addition to the evaluation of the SCL products, an evaluation of ViA has been commissioned by the Dutch Governance Code Veiligheid in de Bouw (GCVB).

This evaluation will be conducted by Easylog BV and will also involve a survey and interviews. Because the ViA evaluation serves a different purpose to the SCL evaluation, the questions will also be different. Since ViA makes use of the SCL, it is inevitable that the two evaluations, and hence the surveys, will touch on each other. However, any overlap has been minimized and we therefore urge everyone to complete both surveys.
