Ensure compliance and make safety a development opportunity

 

All economic players, whatever their size, must consider risk prevention and control issues, at least, to ensure their regulatory compliance. The global health crisis has reminded us all, individually and collectively, that safety (particularly health) is not an option but must be the focus of all business leaders, including entrepreneurs, tradesmen or freelancers, VSE or SME managers in all business sectors.

The assignments offered by Apave experts locally and internationally aim to provide reliable and rapid responses to your safety and compliance issues, whether they are problems related to your equipment, your facilities or preventing human risks, to protect your teams and your customers. We also work alongside you to incorporate safety from the preliminary phase of your projects (e.g. new equipment, construction of a new building, digitisation integrated into your production chain), providing you clarity, a multi-disciplinary approach when needed and our experts' field experience.

We also facilitate your day-to-day work by integrating digital technology into the services we offer you; Apave has developed operational online services, based on our know-how and our observation of your constraints, to promote the incorporation and management of safety and your compliance.

Apave teams now support more than 100,000 VSE clients, in particular in carrying out checks and developing the documentation required by legislators.
