Stimulating OSH procurement : VCA checklist
bookPart
The Dutch VCA system (Veiligheids Checklijst Aannemers) was developed in 1994 to objectively evaluate and certify the Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) management systems of contractor companies that offer their services to the petrochemical and chemical industry. The VCA system is owned and managed by the Central Committee of Experts, a body made up of representatives of associations of both client and contractor companies. All logistical and technical issues regarding the scheme are coordinated by the 'Stichting Samenwerken Voor Veiligheid' (SVVV) in Rotterdam. The aim of the scheme is more uniformity in SHE management systems and more continuous improvement of SHE performance within the contractors' enterprises working on commissions for high risks industries such as the chemical industry. An important element of the scheme is the requirement for SCC-certified enterprises to demonstrate clearly that their personnel has received the obligatory SHE training.
