Creating a safety culture within the organization
A key component of health and safety at work is a clear policy on safety rules. Because how do you ensure that safety rules are truly understood and applied within an organization? Rob Fennema shares four key steps that are essential.
Awareness
''Awareness is the basis of a safe working environment. Take the example of tripping hazards, for example when walking up and down stairs. You can fall down the stairs, or trip on the stairs and bump into something. The consequences can be limited but also serious. Possibly with the (temporary) inability to resume work. Awareness of risks and consequences opens the door to the next important step.''
Recording and transferring rules
''It goes without saying that in order to properly communicate safety rules, you first have to properly record the rules as an organization. Safety rules must be documented and actively communicated. Ideally, employees encounter the safety rules in multiple places and in different forms. After employees have become aware of the risk of tripping, for example when going up and down stairs, there is more support for these safety rules. Employees are now aware that possible consequences of incidents are undesirable and must be prevented. Employees now know and understand that a hand on the railing on the stairs is a logical part of the safety rules and culture of the organization.''
Check
''It has now been actively communicated that there are risks with consequences, and that safety rules have therefore been drawn up within the organisation. It is important that there is a policy for checking the safety rules. Although 'checking' may have a negative connotation, checks actually indicate that safety has a high priority within the organisation. It gives employees the confidence that their well-being is taken seriously and encourages them to actively contribute to a safe working environment. In addition, checks contribute to identifying potential safety risks and implementing improvements where necessary.''
Sanctions Policy
''Finally, it is important to establish what happens if the safety rules are not followed. Establishing a clear sanction policy is an essential part of a strong safety policy. Imagine that you are driving in a built-up area. You know and understand that you are allowed to drive a maximum of 50 kilometers per hour. Nevertheless, you are more likely to adhere to the rules if you know that checks are being carried out and that a sanction may follow if you exceed the maximum speed. This is also how it works in a work environment. The same applies here as with the inspection policy: it indicates that safety has a high priority within the organization.''

Draagvlak creëren voor Privacywetgeving met onze e-learning;
Het beschermen van gegevens doe je samen!
In een tijd waarin organisaties steeds meer gegevens verwerken, wordt zorgvuldig omgaan met privacy en persoonsbeveiliging belangrijker dan ooit. Niet alleen omdat de wet dit van ons vraagt (denk aan de AVG), maar ook omdat het vertrouwen van klanten en medewerkers op het spel staat. Een kleine fout – een verkeerd verzonden e-mail, een onbeveiligde laptop of het delen van gegevens zonder toestemming – kan al leiden tot een privacy schending met grote gevolgen.

Onze instructiefilm "Allergenen in de voedingsmiddelen-industrie" vernieuwd!
Het aantal mensen met een voedselallergie blijft toenemen. In Europa is dit aantal in de afgelopen twintig jaar verdubbeld. Voor mensen met een voedselallergie kan zelfs een minimale hoeveelheid van het verkeerde ingrediënt al leiden tot een ernstige, soms levensbedreigende reactie. Deze ontwikkeling maakt allergenenbeheersing een steeds belangrijker aandachtspunt binnen de voedingsmiddelenindustrie.

Wat kunnen we leren van de meest voorkomende arbeidsongevallen in 2025?
Een ongeluk zit in een klein hoekje – zeker in een fabriek, waar machines, voertuigen en mensen continu samen zijn. Eén verkeerde stap, een onoplettend moment of een klein technisch mankement kan al grote gevolgen hebben. Maar waar gaat het nu het vaakst mis en wat kunnen we hiervan leren? Wij zetten de 10 belangrijkste oorzaken van ongevallen in fabrieken voor je op een rij.

"A safe workplace is created together"
Working safely is more than just a requirement—it's the foundation for a healthy and productive workplace. A safe workplace, safe equipment, and safe working methods are essential under the Dutch Working Conditions Act (Arbowet). Both employers and employees have a clear role to play in this.

Learning or instructing, what is the difference?
Both processes complement each other. Instruction provides the basis, while learning helps to further develop and apply knowledge. When making films and e-learnings, we always look for the right balance.
