Description of assignment

Within Vanderlande High-risk activities exist with critical H&S controls. Although these are known we do not always execute our own way of working and have to take additional risks to complete the work. Currently it is not defined when we accept a higher risk or when we must STOP work and implement control measures before restarting the work activities. We require guidance within Vanderlande on this subject to empower the organization to actually STOP work activities when it becomes too hazardous. This guidance should focus on all layers of the organization and include all high-risk work activities. Once these guidelines have been defined an implementation framework must be developed to implement these guidelines into our processes and into the organization.
