This is a combination of the \u2018existing\u2019 SCC scheme with the new behaviour module (SCC-MG) incorporated into it. VCA-MAX should allow thorough testing of culture, attitude and behaviour as well. The aim: to encourage safe working even more, because safety only really works if it is anchored in the corporate culture. VCA-MAX is situated at the \u201ccalculated\u201d level (step 3) of culture ladders.<\/p>\n<p>SCC lays the foundations: clear system and structure requirements, processes, workplace application, inspections and audits. But anyone who has ever been on an industrial site knows that safety is mainly about people. Real safety occurs when people consciously and proactively demonstrate safe behaviour. That is why the VCA Behaviour Module (VCA-MG) was developed as a practical way to make safe behaviour and safety culture visible and demonstrable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The power of combination<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Together, VCA and VCA-MG form the VCA-MAX safety culture combination:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rules, structures and systems in place.<\/li>\n<li>Behaviour and safety awareness strengthened.<\/li>\n<li>Demonstrated compliance with procurement requirements.<\/li>\n<li>Connect to safety culture ladders (level step 3).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>VCA-MAX consists of VCA 2017\/6.0 with the additional VCA Behaviour Module (VCA-MG) and explanatory notes on this module integrated into it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does VCA-MAX work? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The additional Behaviour Module is optional. Companies can get started with the module in two ways:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Keep your current SCC certificate and add SCC-MG.<\/li>\n<li>Combine VCA and VCA-MG directly into one certification VCA-MAX.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>With VCA-MAX, contractors can obtain the well-known VCA certificate at level *, ** or<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">P and the additional VCA-MG certificate. The certification can be carried out at the same time, but it is not necessary. A company that already has a regular SCC certificate can therefore still be audited at a later date to obtain the supplementary SCC-MG certificate. The VCA-MG certificate allows contractors to demonstrate that their company's safety culture is at level 3 (the level \u201ccalculated\u201d according to safety culture ladders).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>VCA-MAX is optional<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">This means that for companies using the regular SCC 2017\/6.0 scheme, it is <strong>not compulsory<\/strong> to integrate the SCC Behaviour Module and that <strong>companies and sectors <\/strong>can <strong>choose<\/strong> this themselves. Also note that the additional module is not covered by accreditation.<\/p>\n<p>Interested in going up for VCA-MAX?
