VCA-ETT 2017
Training document: Explanation
This document, ‘VCA-ETT 2017 Training’, relates to the new final attainment levels and test criteria for the VCA (SCC) Safety examinations. In the document, the training
content is shown for each test criterion as aspects and focus items. The relationship between the old and the new test criteria is also shown.
In addition to this ‘Training document’, ‘VCA-ETT 2017 Exam’ (Final attainment level and test criteria for VCA (SCC) 2017 Examination) is also available in which only the
new sections, topics, final attainment levels and test criteria are included.
This document consists of 3 worksheets (excluding this explanation):
HOETAA: gives an overview of the various sections, topics, final attainment levels and test criteria, and for each test criterion the aspects and focus items.
TT old-new: Gives the relationship between the old and the new test criteria.
TT new-old: Gives the relationship between the new and the old test criteria.
You can make selections using a filter in each column on the HOETAA worksheet. When you click the arrow, the options become visible. When you click ‘select all’, all
selections are ‘switched off’ after which you can select one or more of the options.
For each worksheet an explanation now follows of the content and use of the worksheet. Of course, you can get to work immediately and discover the possibilities
yourself.
HOETAA worksheet
Dropdown menus (left of column A): Selection of aspects and focus items per test criterion
As extra information with respect to the ‘Examination document’, this worksheet shows the aspects and focus items per test criterion. The aspects concern the old final
attainment levels; the focus items concern the old test criteria with focus items. One or more old final attainment levels and test criteria come under each new test
criterion (also see worksheets ‘TT old-new’ and ‘TT new-old’). The various aspects and focus items can be made visible as follows:
1- Click on ‘2’ to open all aspects and focus items and on ‘1’ to close everything. The ‘1’ and ‘2’ are left of column A.
2- In column D (Test criteria) select one or more test criteria, and the selected test criteria and corresponding aspects and focus items will be displayed.
3- Click on a ‘+’ in the margin to open the aspects and focus items of one test criterion and on a ‘-’ (or on ‘1’) to close them again.
Column A (Section): Selection per section

If you make a selection in sections, you will see the selected sections and the corresponding topics, final attainment levels and test criteria.
Column B (Topic): Selection per topic
1- You first made a selection in sections: If you make a selection in topics and you select ‘empty cells’, you will see the selected topics and the corresponding
sections, final attainment levels and test criteria.
2- You did not make a selection in sections: If you make a selection in topics, you will see the selected topics, the corresponding final attainment levels and test
criteria.
Column C (ET): Selection per final attainment level

If you make a selection in final attainment levels, you will see the selected final attainment levels and corresponding test criteria.
Column H (Tax): Selection per taxonomy code
VCA-ETT 2017
Training document: Explanation
Two taxonomy codes are used: T (Application) and K (Knowledge)

If you make a selection in taxonomy (T or K), you will see the test criteria with the relevant taxonomy.
Column I-J-K (B-VOL-VIL): Selection of Basic, VOL and/or VIL test criterion
1- For example, you want to select all B test criteria: Select only ‘x’ at B. You will then see, in addition to all B test criteria, also all sections, topics and final attainment
levels.
2- For example, you only want to select test criteria that are exclusive to VOL and VIL: Select only ‘empty cells’ with B. The sections, topics and final attainment levels
will not be visible. Also all aspects and focus items are now visible, so also those of the basic test criteria. You can close them again by clicking on ‘1’.
3- For example, you only want to select test criteria that are exclusive to VOL: Select only ‘empty cells’ with B and with VIL. The sections, topics and final attainment
levels will not be visible. Also all aspects and focus items are now visible, so also those of the basic and VIL test criteria. You can close them again by clicking on ‘1’.
Column L (NL/B): Selection of test criteria that are different for Belgium and the Netherlands.
1- If you select B or NL, you will see the exclusive Dutch or Belgian test criteria. The sections, topics and final attainment levels will not be visible. Note: Now you also
see the NL or B aspects that belong to the NL/B test criteria. You can close them again by clicking on ‘1’.
2- If you select NL/B, you will see the test criteria for which there is a difference in the underlying aspects and focus items (for example Dutch versus Belgian
regulations). By clicking on ‘+’ with the corresponding test criterion/criteria you can see the differences in aspects and focus items.

at a time, never an entire group simultaneously • It is a regular and not an occasional task of the supervisor (every supervisor at least once a
month) • Inspections should preferably be done with two, at the maximum, three people • Do not disrupt the activities, do not get in the way
of the employees • Observe the activities and note in particular the HSE aspects • Check whether the procedures and regulations are followed
• Your presence generates a response; if this has an adverse effect, you must discuss it at a later date with the person involved • In situations
where your presence changes the approach to work, address this • Make notes • Do not just watch, but also ask questions, listen, give advice
and make agreements • Inform the person involved of the positive and negative safety aspects of the findings • Correct in such a way that this
is positive for the motivation of the employees • Pay attention to incidents that have taken place • Communicate in a way that does not harm
the employee’s self-esteem

easily, also without the action of oxygen, at a certain temperature, in contact
with other substances, in the event of shock or friction, e.g. ammunition, TNT, gunpowder • Extremely and highly flammable materials ignite
very easily, even at normal ambient temperatures (21 °C), e.g. petrol, acetone, white spirit • Oxidising materials or those that promote fire
release oxygen and therefore react fiercely with other (flammable) materials and promote fire, e.g. oxygenated water/hydrogen peroxide,
ozone, oxygen • Very toxic and toxic substances pose a substantial risk of serious problems if breathed in, swallowed or when absorbed
through the skin, e.g. carbon monoxide, H2S, methanol, benzene • Hazardous substances pose fewer problems than toxic substances when
breathed in, swallowed or when absorbed through the skin, e.g. paint, lacquer, wood protection products • Corrosive substances affect the
skin, eyes, lungs and mucous membranes in the event of contact, e.g. acids and bases • Irritating substances have less impact than corrosive
products, they can cause infections in the event of contact with the skin, eyes, lungs and the mucous membranes, e.g. diluted or weak acids
and bases, many solvents, polyester mastic • Carcinogenic substances can lead to cancer, for example Asbestos, benzene, vinyl chloride, diesel
fumes • Environmentally hazardous substances pose a danger to the environment and animals, for example CFCs, certain pesticides •
Sensitising substances can cause allergies, e.g. certain resins and colourants, some paints, metal treatment products, hair dyes
