SCC/SCP Certification
SCC stands for “Safety Certificate Contractors”. It proves that a contractor manages safety, health and environmental protection systematically. SCP is the version for staffing agencies, SCC-P for work in petrochemicals.
The certificate is issued by an independent certification body. Our job: making sure you go into the audit well prepared – with complete records, trained supervisors and procedures that are actually lived. Depending on company size and use of subcontractors, we clarify whether SCC* or SCC** is right for you.
Who is it for?
- Installation, maintenance and industrial service firms

Frequently asked questions
How long does preparation take?
It depends on your starting point. For a company that already has risk assessments and briefings in place, a few months is realistic.
How long is the certificate valid?
Three years, with annual surveillance audits in between.
What does SCC preparation cost?
It depends on your starting point. After the assessment you receive a fixed price. Certification body fees are charged separately.
What is the difference between SCC* and SCC**?
SCC* is aimed at smaller firms without subcontractors, SCC** at larger firms or those using subcontractors. We clarify which level your customers require.
Which employees need an SCC certificate?
Operational staff and operational supervisors working on customer sites each need their own certificate after passing an exam.
What happens if the audit finds non-conformities?
Non-conformities must be fixed and evidenced within a deadline. We help eliminate causes and submit the evidence properly.
