VCA certification stands for ‘Veiligheid Gezondheid en Milieu Checklist Aannemers’ in Dutch, which translates to ‘Safety, Health and Environmental Checklist for Contractors’

The VCA certificate serves as evidence that the future employee or certificate holder possesses comprehensive knowledge about job safety. It demonstrates awareness of safety practice, health considerations and environmental responsibilities related to their work.
Having a VCA certificate is crucial for several reasons, especially if you are seeking employment in high-risk professions such as construction or petrochemical industries:
The Dutch system mandates that employees and subcontractors possess the appropriate certificates to perform their tasks. This requirement ensures safety and compliance with health and environmental standards
The VCA certificate isn’t limited to the Benelux countries (Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg).  It is also recognised in other countries.

Obtaining a VCA is a wise choice
