SCC & SCP-Certification| Bureau Veritas

A proof of safety, health and environmental protection

Safety, health and environmental protection (SHE) is fundamentally important for all companies - but meeting the highest safety standards is particularly important in safety-critical industries such as the chemical, petrochemical or power generation sectors. Therefore, companies, contractors or personnel service providers offering their services in these industries must prove that they operate in accordance with the required safety standards.
