Question 1

What is WorksiteTraining.online?

Accepted Answer

WorksiteTraining.online is a multilingual microlearning platform for construction and industrial businesses. We deliver short, mobile-friendly trainings on VCA / Arbo, safety, PPE & machine safety, HSE and audit-readiness — assigned and tracked from one dashboard, with certificates you can hand to your auditor.

Question 2

Who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Contractors, installers, joinery and timber factories, workshops, manufacturing plants, maintenance companies, infrastructure, landscaping and industrial service providers — any organisation that needs new people working safely and has to prove compliance with Dutch Arbo law, VCA / VCU or a client's requirements.

Question 3

How quickly can my team start?

Accepted Answer

Minutes. Send your team a single invite link or QR code, or upload a list of email addresses. They open it on their phone, choose their language and start the first training.

Question 4

Do learners need to install anything?

Accepted Answer

No. Everything runs in any modern browser on phone, tablet or desktop.

Question 5

Which topics are covered?

Accepted Answer

WorksiteTraining.online helps construction and industrial businesses build both demonstrable compliance and a strong workplace safety (Arbo) and quality culture. Leadership is the supporting framework: managers and supervisors learn how to lead by example, give meaning to rules, address behaviour and encourage continuous improvement.

The training covers topics such as VCA / Arbo, personal protective equipment, PPE & machine safety, working at heights, fall protection, electrical safety, hazardous substances, ergonomics, noise and vibration, HSE and safe working practices. WorksiteTraining.online also offers awareness modules for VCA, VCU and ISO 45001, plus role-specific packages for construction sites, workshops, warehouses, technical services, cleaning, QHSE, supervisors and site managers.

Question 6

How long does a training take?

Accepted Answer

Most modules are 5–15 minutes — short microlearning cards, flip cards, quizzes and swipe activities.

Question 7

Is the content kept up to date with legislation?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we update VCA / Arbo, safety and incident reporting content when Dutch Arbo and EU OSH legislation or the relevant VCA / VCU / ISO 45001 standards change.

Question 8

Can I request a custom training for my company?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We script, design and build it with you — cards, quizzes, voice-over, multilingual. On request we can also enable, per organisation, the option for your own org admin to author microlearnings for your internal SOPs and work instructions; that content stays visible only inside your organisation. Contact us for a quote.

Question 9

Can we require a team lead to sign off the practical before the certificate is released?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can enable a required practical assessment per training. A team lead, group owner or org admin signs off in the reviewer dashboard with ✓ or ✗ plus an optional comment. The certificate is released only after the ✓.

Question 10

Can we author our own microlearnings for our SOPs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on request. We enable this option per organisation. Your org admin (and optionally an 'org author' role) can then author microlearnings in our editor for your own SOPs, work instructions and internal procedures, visible only inside your organisation and within hard licence limits.

Question 11

Are the certificates audit-ready?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each certificate shows the learner's name, training, version, date and a unique verification ID, and is accepted by VCA, VCU, ISO 45001 and health-authority auditors.

Question 12

Where can I download a learner's certificate?

Accepted Answer

Learners download from their profile; org admins download any team member's certificates from the org admin dashboard.

Question 13

How long are certificates valid and what about renewals?

Accepted Answer

Most standards expect refresher training every 12 to 24 months. The platform tracks dates and surfaces upcoming renewals.

Question 14

Can I show completion records to an auditor?

Accepted Answer

Yes — export per-learner completion records as PDF or CSV from the org admin dashboard.

Question 15

Do you align with Dutch Arbo law, VCA / VCU and ISO 45001?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the content follows the Arbowet and Arbobesluit, the VCA / VCU exam objectives and the structure of ISO 45001.

Question 16

Which languages are available?

Accepted Answer

English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Polish, Romanian, Ukrainian and Norwegian. Each learner chooses their own language.

Question 17

Can my team mix languages within the same company?

Accepted Answer

Yes — one assignment serves the whole team, with each learner seeing it in their preferred language.

Question 18

What if a language we need isn't listed yet?

Accepted Answer

Tell us. We add new languages on request, usually within a couple of weeks, at no extra cost.

Question 19

How are translations kept consistent with workplace-safety terminology?

Accepted Answer

Translations use a domain glossary and are reviewed by a native speaker familiar with workplace-safety language.

Question 20

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Per-seat for ongoing access or per-package for one-off cohorts. Volume discounts from 25 seats. Contact us for a quote.

Question 21

Can I assign trainings to specific people or teams?

Accepted Answer

Yes — by individual, team, site or whole organisation, with optional due dates and reminders.

Question 22

Can I track who has finished what?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the org admin dashboard shows progress per learner and per training, including quiz scores.

Question 23

Can I add my own logo, colors and welcome message?

Accepted Answer

Yes — org admins set a logo, primary color and welcome message so your team sees your brand.

Question 24

Can I invite people in bulk or with a single link?

Accepted Answer

Both — a shared invite link or QR code, or a CSV upload of email addresses.

Question 25

What is the training / skill matrix?

Accepted Answer

A live overview of which trainings each person needs and which they have completed, mapped to your production lines and job roles. The matrix fills with green as people complete and pass, so you see at a glance who is fully qualified, almost qualified or not yet deployable.

Question 26

Are trainings assigned automatically when I link someone to a role?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Linking a person to a role on a production line auto-assigns the required trainings; changing the role updates the matrix automatically.

Question 27

What happens when a training expires?

Accepted Answer

Cells turn amber before expiry and red when expired. Reminder rules can warn the right people a chosen number of days before expiry, optionally scoped to one production line.

Question 28

Can I bulk-import people, roles and lines from a CSV?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload a CSV with employee identifier, role and production line. Missing roles or lines can be auto-created and the import is idempotent.

Question 29

Can I quickly see who I can deploy on a given line tomorrow?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A deployability view scores every team member against a line × role as deployable, almost (1 training missing) or not deployable, and lets you link them in one click.

Question 30

Do you offer SSO or SAML for larger organisations?

Accepted Answer

Yes — SAML SSO is available on enterprise plans (Azure AD, Okta, Google Workspace).

Question 31

What is an RI&E and who needs one?

Accepted Answer

The risk inventory and evaluation (RI&E) is the basis of Dutch occupational health and safety law: every employer with staff must have a written RI&E and plan of action (Arbowet art. 5), describing the risks, how serious they are, the existing measures and the actions still to be taken, with a person responsible and a deadline.

Question 32

How does the RI&E tool work?

Accepted Answer

A short wizard asks for your branch, activities, workplaces, substances, machines and risk profile, and assembles a concept RI&E with the relevant sections, risks, requirements, desired situation and legal source per risk. You then confirm or adjust what applies in your company.

Question 33

How do I know the RI&E content is legally correct?

Accepted Answer

Every requirement carries its source. Requirements marked ! follow from law and link to the specific article on wetten.overheid.nl; requirements from a CAO or arbocatalogus within your scope are marked as branch obligations; everything else is shown as good practice.

Question 34

Does my RI&E have to be checked by a certified expert?

Accepted Answer

Employers with more than 25 employees must have the RI&E and plan of action reviewed by a certified expert or arbodienst. Up to 25 employees you are exempt when using a recognised branch instrument. You can invite an external reviewer to check and sign off inside the platform.

Question 35

How is the plan of action created?

Accepted Answer

It is built while you assess: the tool derives the rating, residual risk and priority per risk and proposes the measure text from the desired situation; you add the responsible person and deadline.

Question 36

When does the RI&E need to be updated?

Accepted Answer

Whenever the working situation changes materially — new machines or substances, other activities, a move, an accident or changed legislation — and periodically. The tool tracks a reassessment date and emails admins in advance.

Question 37

How does the RI&E connect to training?

Accepted Answer

For the residual risks the tool suggests matching trainings and microlearnings you can link to the risk and assign to people or roles, so the RI&E doubles as your training plan and completion records prove the measure was implemented.

Question 38

Is an emergency response (BHV) plan mandatory?

Accepted Answer

Every employer must organise emergency response — first aid, fighting a starting fire and evacuation (Arbowet art. 3 and 15) — based on the RI&E. A written BHV plan is the practical way to demonstrate this.

Question 39

Which standard does the BHV plan generator follow?

Accepted Answer

NEN 8112:2017: company details and scope, emergency organisation, scenarios, alerting and communication, evacuation, resources, training and drills, maintenance and review, plus annexes such as floor plans, call lists and instruction cards.

Question 40

Does the BHV plan use my RI&E?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The generator reads risks, hazardous substances, machines and workplaces from your RI&E and turns them into the scenarios and emergency organisation of the plan.

Question 41

How many BHV officers do we need?

Accepted Answer

There is no fixed ratio in law; the number and expertise must fit the risks, building, number of people present and emergency-service response time. The generator calculates a proposal from occupancy, shifts and risk profile, including the reasoning.

Question 42

I got an invite link — what do I do?

Accepted Answer

Tap the link, choose your language, pick a nickname and start the first training.

Question 43

Can I retake a training if I didn't pass the quiz?

Accepted Answer

Yes — quizzes can be retaken until you pass; your best score is kept.

Question 44

Can I have the cards read aloud to me?

Accepted Answer

Yes — switch on read-aloud at the start of a training and each card is narrated in your chosen language.

Question 45

How do points and the leaderboard work?

Accepted Answer

You earn points for completing cards and answering quizzes correctly. Points are for friendly competition only and don't affect your certificate.

Question 46

I lost my certificate — how do I get it back?

Accepted Answer

Sign in and open your profile — every certificate is there to download again.

Question 47

Where is my data stored and who can see it?

Accepted Answer

In the EU. Org admins see only their own team's records. We never sell personal data.

Question 48

Is the platform GDPR-compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We collect only what's needed, honour access and deletion requests, and provide a DPA on request.

Question 49

How can a learner delete their account and data?

Accepted Answer

From the profile, choose Delete account. Personal data is removed; anonymised completion records may be retained as audit evidence.

Question 50

Which browsers and devices are supported?

Accepted Answer

Any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) on phone, tablet or desktop. No app install needed.

Question 51

Does it work offline?

Accepted Answer

Cards load quickly on slow connections but a full offline mode isn't supported yet.

Question 52

Is there an API or webhook to push completions to our HR or LMS?

Accepted Answer

Yes — REST API and webhooks for completion events on enterprise plans.
