SCC Certification in accordance with Docs. 017 / 018
Personnel Training in Safety, Health, and Environmental Protection
Executives
Certification in accordance with SCC Doc. 017 for individuals with operational management responsibilities.
Employees
Certification in accordance with SCC Doc. 018 for employees in operational roles.
Practical Knowledge
Safety, health, and environmental protection explained in an easy-to-understand way and applied to everyday work.
SCC stands for “Safety Certificate Contractors.” The term “contractors” refers to companies that perform, for example, installation, maintenance, or repair work for other companies. SGU stands for safety, health, and environmental protection.
A personal SGU certificate demonstrates the relevant knowledge. Clients often require such proof, particularly for assignments at industrial facilities. This personnel certification thus helps companies prepare their employees for demanding working conditions.
Semper Fidus prepares participants for the exam based on the SGU-Personal VAZ 2021 program. We explain the big picture, discuss typical hazards, and demonstrate how to apply safety measures in everyday work situations.
The examination and issuance of the individual certificate are carried out by an accredited individual certification body. Simply attending a training course does not in itself constitute an SCC individual certificate.
The Right Qualifications for Your Job
The key factor in choosing between Doc. 017 and Doc. 018 is your actual job duties. Those who supervise work and have operational management responsibilities require different exam preparation than employees without these roles. Please let us know what your responsibilities are and what your employer requires—we’ll help you make the right choice.

How to Prepare for Your SCC Certification
1. Determine Needs and Prerequisites
Please provide us with the participants’ roles, their current qualifications, and the desired training date. Based on this information, we will determine the appropriate training needs. The certification body decides on admission to the exam.
2. Build and Apply Knowledge
During the training, you will explore the relevant topics and apply them to typical work situations. Clear explanations and practical examples will help you understand the concepts.
3. Take the exam and receive certification
Once you have been admitted, you will take the exam at an accredited personnel certification body. If you pass the exam and are granted certification, you will receive your personal SGU certificate.
Your team is well prepared
Whether it’s a single manager or several employees: Effective preparation takes into account the tasks, prior knowledge, and working conditions of your employees. This results in knowledge that is relevant both for the exam and for day-to-day work.
