Update COVID-19 measures DELTA Safety Training

Dear relation,

It has not escaped anyone's notice that the growth in the number of COVID-19 infections is once again calling for measures to be taken.

In view of the number of questions we receive, we would like to stress once again that our training centre complies with RIVM guidelines, also taking into account the measures announced last week. To guarantee safety, it goes without saying that everyone must comply with the regulations.

Everyone can thus be trained safely.

These are the measures we took in short:

•  Measure body temperature on entry.
•  If you have a cold, headache, sore throat, fever, diarrhoea, you will be
  refused entry to the training centre. A new date will be scheduled.
• Disinfect hands when entering the training centre.
• Hand sanitiser is available at various places in the training centre.
• Keep 1.5 metre distance from each other · One direction traffic in the training centre. 
• Wearing a mouth mask
• If possible, staff works from home. ·
• The staff calls people into account if they do not comply with the measures according to RIVM ( National Institute for Public Health and the Environment)

Mouth masks

Participants and staff wear masks as soon as they walk. This can be walking through the corridors, the canteen, or our practice hall.

Wearing a mouth mask is not mandatory if:

• the participants are seated their seats in the classroom
• the participants are seated in their seats in the restaurant
• the participants are seated in their seats in the practice hall

Groups

As announced at the press conference of october 13th, a maximum of 30 people is allowed in one (indoor) room. There is an exception to this maximum for training centres. However, we have taken various measures to restrict large numbers in one room (e.g. lunch and coffee breaks in timeslots)

Plannig DELTA

Due to the expected crowds from September, we kindly request you to discuss your training needs with us in time.  We want to provide everyone with the best possible service to fulfill the training needs as desired. Do you have any questions about the certification bodies' dispensation schemes or would you like to discuss your training needs? Click on the button below to schedule an appointment with Marlous Doeven. View our training offer Training in 1,5 meter culture During the press conference last Tuesday it became clear that we in the Netherlands have to adjust to the 1.5 meter culture for a longer period of time. This means that your colleagues may also need to train in smaller groups in the long term than you were used to. We understand that it is extremely important for your organization to be able to provide your colleagues with the right training in time, so that they have the right competences to be able to carry out work safely. To ensure the safety of your colleagues and our team, we currently offer our training for smaller groups of up to four people. However, we are busy further adapting our training center, so that we can still guarantee safety and 1.5 meters for larger groups. For example, we are setting up walkways and walking routes and we are also arranging our classrooms in a different way, so that classroom training is possible in the long term. Inventory of training needs Efficient planning helps ensure that your people can follow training courses in good time. We would therefore like to ask you to contact us so that we can provide in your training needs and adjust our offer / open registrations accordingly. In this way we can match supply and demand as well as possible.  UPDATE 17 april 2020 15:10:28 Training in Corona time  The first training sessions took place last week. To guarantee the safety of both the delegates and our instructors, we have offered the theory digitally via Microsoft Teams. The practical part subsequently took place (in one-to-one sessions or in small groups) in our training center. Fortunately, the initial reactions of our delegates were very positive! It turned out that there were virtually no problems with our delegates attending the Microsoft Teams session. Our specially designed helpdesk was able to help remotely quickly and everyone was able to follow the theory without any problems

Train when it suits you Since we can only receive a limited number of participants in our training center at the same time, we are required to be very flexible with our planning. As a result, we do not stick to our own open registration dates, but we will work with you to find a date that suits your colleagues best. Our sales team and customer support are happy to help you with this.

Our current training offer The training offer is currently limited. Of course we do everything we can to provide all training courses in the shortest possible time. You can contact us for the following training courses: Handling Loads Flange fitter Forklift  Elevated Working Platform Independent Respiratory Protection Small Extinguishers Gas measurement 1.4 Gas Measurement NOGEPA Manhole Watch Working at height Socket Pouring Course GWO Working at Heights GWO Manual Handling GWO Fire Awareness GWO Sea Survival STCW Security Awareness OPITO E-Bosiet including practice day OPITO FOET / NOGEPA 0.5B When we can add new courses to the above training offer, we will inform you immediately. We thank you for your understanding and wish you and your colleagues a lot of health and safety. DELTA Team

 UPDATE 6 april 2020 14:11:28

Our training facilities are open again! The Corona virus keeps us all busy every day. As you have read in the previous reports, we do everything we can to serve our clients. Our director has therefore recorded a personal video message that he would like to share with you.

Watch our video

This is a unique and unprecedented time. Things have changed. Everyone is asked to work from home, fairs and events have been postponed, most personal appointments have been canceled, etc. Anyway, these are the times to be creative and innovative. because now that we know this, we can adapt to this new situation. Our number 1 priority today is to help where we can and provide the service you are used from us.   We would like to inform you that we will start training again from April 6!    In a different way than you are used to from us, but one thing is certain; safety and health of the delegates and employees are paramount. In everything we follow the guidelines of the RIVM and we also have the approval of various authorities to provide our training in this way. The theory will take place digitally and the practical part of the training 1 by 1 or in very small groups in our training center. Unfortunately, due to social distancing, it is not possible to provide all training courses. So do not hesitate to contact us about the options we have. Marlous and Niels are happy to help you with personal advice. In a personal appointment we will explain which training courses we can offer and how we ensure that the absolute safety of your employees is guaranteed!

UPDATE 26 2020 11:07:18 PM

After objections from various trainingcenters, we can inform you that the news of 24 March from the SSVV has been adjusted:

The SSVV urgently advises all exam centers and trainingcenters to postpone group, physical VCA and SOG exams and courses for the time being. We cannot formally oblige them to do so, provided they always take their professional responsibility and make every effort to protect the health and safety of their candidates and employees. Our dispensation scheme also ensures that there is no immediate need for a large group of people to take exams now.

For the full Corona news from the SSVV, I refer you to: https://www.vca.nl/actueel/ssvv-emt- measures-vanwege-coronavirus

All the best

DELTA Team,

UPDATE 25 2020 13:46:57 PM

Following the additional measures announced yesterday by the government, SSVV decided yesterday that all group, physical VCA and SOG exams should be postponed to at least June 1, 2020. We recognize that this has major consequences for clients working in the Petrochemical industry.

We want to inform you that we do everything we can to find possibilities to help you. We believe that taking the exam one by one or in small groups with a minimum distance of 1.5 meters between the delegates should be possible and also acceptable. We will keep you informed.

All the best,

DELTA Team

The courses will continue until further notice, but DELTA Safety Training has taken various measures to prevent further spread of the virus.
