SCC examination of operational employees according to document 018
Optional SGU (HSE) examination of operational employees by DAkkS-accredited personnel certification body (Document 018)
Participants
It is the responsibility of the employer to identify those operational employees who, instead of the in-house SGU (HSE) training and examination, are to complete the optional SGU (HSE) examination by accredited personnel certification bodies using document 018.
It is the responsibility of the employer to decide whether employees who have not yet reached the age of 18 will be tested and certified, if they meet the entry requirements according to document 018.
All employees operating within the scope of the SCC or SCP certificate (at least 90%) who have been employed in the company for more than 3 months must have completed SGU (HSE) training, including an examination.
Operational employees are involved in the provision of services (e.g., blue-collar workers, skilled workers, and fitters). This also includes – provided they perform operational activities – marginal and part-time employees and trainees who have reached the age of 18, as well as one-person subcontractors who are employed in the course of order processing.
The following are exempt from this requirement within the scope of SCC or SCP certification:
• operational employees who have successfully completed a recognized SGU (HSE) examination with a personnel examination organization in accordance with document 018 or who can demonstrate qualification as an occupational safety specialist.
• Supervisors at the operational level who have successfully completed a recognized SGU (HSE) examination in accordance with document 017 or who can demonstrate qualification as an occupational safety specialist.
• operational employees and supervisors at the operational level who hold an Austrian SGU (HSE) certificate according to document A18 or a VCA diploma - provided it is listed in the Central Diploma Register, see https://www.vca.ssvv.nl
Examination and examination evaluation
The exam consists of 40 multiple-choice questions, which candidates must answer without any aids. Operational staff are considered to have passed the exam if at least 70% of the questions are answered correctly, i.e., if at least 28 correct answers are given. If an HSE exam is failed, it can be retaken as many times as required.
