VCU
VCU (Veiligheid en Gezondheid Checklist Uitzendorganisaties) is a certification standard for temporary employment agencies that supply personnel to high-risk environments. It demonstrates your commitment to the safety and health of temporary workers while positioning your agency as a reliable partner for VCA-certified clients. Control Union provides expert assessment and certification services for this industrial safety certification.
VCU at Control Union
VCU certification is specifically designed for temporary employment agencies that second personnel to VCA-certified companies operating in high-risk sectors such as (petro)chemistry, construction, and industrial maintenance. By implementing a comprehensive Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) management system that meets VCU requirements, your organisation demonstrates professional expertise in worker safety. And you establish yourself as a trusted business partner. This certification prevents complications and generates business opportunities, as clients increasingly prefer working with certified agencies that prioritise industrial safety certification.
