Are you looking for a practical, high-impact course for supervisors? Ingenium’s Safety for Operational Supervisors VCA (VOL-VCA) is exactly what you need.
VCA is internationally known as SCC — Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) Checklist Contractors.
VOL-VCA is designed for team leaders, foremen, and other operational supervisors who must ensure their teams work safely and healthily. You’ll learn to identify and assess risks, implement appropriate controls, and direct employees using clear, established safety procedures. The official VOL-VCA diploma (also known as VCA-2 or VVA-2; internationally referred to within the SCC scheme as Supervisor SCC/VOL-SCC) is widely recognised across many sectors and is often required to plan and oversee work at SCC/VCA-certified sites.
Organizations seeking company-level VCA (SCC) certification must demonstrate that all operational supervisors (employed for more than two months) hold a valid VOL-VCA diploma.
This course is suitable both as an initial qualification and as a refresher.
Our motto: Safety is something you do. Enrol now for Safety for Operational Supervisors VCA (VOL-VCA) with Ingenium.
