Certification of the occupational health and safety management system in accordance with SCC & SCP

Contractors (external companies) are often insufficiently familiar with the client's work processes and safety requirements. The constant change of location also increases the risk of accidents, operational disruptions and damage to property. This is where SCC certification offers contractors a system to meet the increasing requirements.

Personnel service providers who lend their employees to companies (contractors) that apply SCC require SCP certification. This applies in particular to companies (contractors) operating in the chemical, petroleum, refinery and power plant sectors, but also to construction, maintenance and waste disposal companies.

SCC certification or SCP certification enables you to meet the required safety standards in these industries.

Optimize your management processes and achieve more efficient workflows.

Increase your legal security with regard to safety, health and environmental protection management with an SCC*/SCC**/SCCP/SCP certificate from SGS-TÜV Saar.
