Do you report unsafe situations?

14 June 2023 - Carin van den Bliek, Teddi van Bilsen

At Actief Werkt! we think a safe working environment is very important. When you start working as a flex colleague via Actief Werkt! , you will receive an ARBO checklist and/or other safety documents stating the general and specific occupational risks of your work. In addition, you will receive directions and instructions from your supervisor at the workplace.

In daily life, an accident can happen in a small corner and, despite the information and instructions that Actief provides, it can still prevent you from having to deal with an unsafe work situation. Report this unsafe situation immediately to your manager. Do you think that this is not being responded to adequately or seriously? Please contact your contact person at Actief Werkt! so that we can investigate and improve this situation together with the customer. This way you help prevent accidents.


In any case, make sure you have a tidy workplace. This prevents unsafe situations and accidents. Below are some tips for you:

  • Falls and trips are often the cause of an industrial accident. So make sure that the workplace is clean and tidy.
  • Check the machines and tools you work with regularly and store them safely.
  • If you can't remove the danger, make it clear that there is a danger. For example, if glass protrudes over a pedestrian route, it is often not possible to remove the danger immediately. Then mark the danger with, for example, a cone, and tape and shield sharp parts with materials such as polystyrene foam. Make sure the shielding is visible from all sides.
  • Do you find it difficult to always make sure that there is no mess on the work floor? Then plan a moment in the day with your team to tidy up everything .


Do you doubt the seriousness of the situation? Then discuss it with your Actief Werkt! contact person, so that we can provide the safest possible working environment. Look out for each other and above all have a lot of fun at work!
