It is crucial that every employee have a safe and healthy working environment. The Occupational Health and Safety Act contains guidelines for both employers and employees to work together to improve working conditions. Employees should therefore be aware of the contents of this law. A B-VCA diploma shows that you possess the basic knowledge about safety, health and environment, and that you are able to work safely with attention to the environment and health of yourself and others. This basic knowledge is covered in the Occupational Health and Safety Act, among others. It is essential to have this knowledge because it increases both your own safety and that of colleagues while working. The Basic Safety SCC (B-VCA) training is for you if you need a B-VCA diploma for your job and if you are going to take the exam for the first time. During this training you will be prepared for the B-VCA exam, which you will take at the end of the training.

The two-day SCC (B-VCA) training course is designed primarily for people who need a B-VCA diploma for their job and for those who are going to take the exam for the first time.
If you perform work that involves risks or if you work in a high-risk environment, it is required to have a B-VCA diploma. This applies specifically if you are going to work for a company that is SCC-certified. Holding a B-VCA diploma is mandatory for all employees, including permanent employees, self-employed workers, trainees and so on. If you already have a diploma in VOL-VCA, VIL-VCU, Secondary Safety Education or Higher Safety Education, you are exempt from obtaining B-VCA.
If you have a lot of experience in the mentioned areas or if your B-VCA diploma is about to expire, you can book a B-VCA refresher course (English) or study at home using our B-VCA digibooks. In addition, you can book a B-VCA exam separately.
