Machinefabriek De Waal considers safety to be of paramount importance! This may sound logical, but it is easier said than done. Health and safety policy, safety regulations; every company has to deal with these issues.

We want to carry out our work in such a way that all our colleagues can go home at the end of the day without any injuries. We want to achieve this by continuing to: 

  • Creating awareness and giving personal attention.
  • Managing and supervising Safety Coaches by an external safety expert. Each coach is responsible for their own area (ship lifts, production hall, hydraulics, steel construction hall, on site at the customer's premises, office). In this way, several shoulders carry the same load: we are aware, we keep each other sharp and with combined forces we eliminate the administrative burden.
  • Using documents such as report forms, instructions, safety forms and workplace inspections.
  • A monthly 'safety round': time for evaluation, tips and feedback. This is a process of continuous improvement steps.

The result: our employees continue to work in a positive and conscious manner with regard to safety. The VCA certification helps us to demonstrate the above. 

Safe and healthy 

The VCA certificate demonstrates our familiarity with the relevant safety standards and procedures, which form the basis for working safely and healthily every day. We strive to increase the organisation's safety level and thereby reduce or even prevent the number of industrial accidents.
