Online Questionnaire

The questionnaire has a total of 41 questions and is divided into two parts:

  • The first part is dedicated to the occupational health and safety framework (13 questions)
  • The second part is dedicated to the different risks you can encounter in a business (28 questions)

For each question, an explanatory note is provided to help the business to better understand the subject of the questions.

To obtain the certification with the “Sécher a Gesond mat System” label, the score of right answers must be 100% for the legal part, and at least 75% for the part dedicated to risks within the business. Questions related to the different risk families are weighted according to their importance.
