Iris Vanstraelen

I have many years of experience as an internal and external prevention adviser in the nuclear and industrial sector. In doing so, I have gained a broad knowledge of the ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 management systems. I act regularly as an internal and external auditor and I also present many training courses and give presentations, both internally and for Mensura clients.

My aim is to keep everyone’s nose pointing in the same direction at all times. Because that’s how you create an effective policy on wellbeing.

I spend my spare time travelling, gardening and taking care of my animals.

I have experience in a great many sectors as a prevention adviser: metal, woodworking, food, logistics, etc. Companies call on me to:

• Deputise for and support their internal prevention adviser 
• Support small, medium-sized and large companies on wellbeing at work
• Draft explosion safety documents
• Guide companies in their applications for permits and delivery reports for FANC 
• Share expertise on radiation protection and ionising radiation
• Carry out risk analyses
• Optimise explosion safety
• Conduct wellbeing audits 
• Investigate serious accidents at work
• Support the implementation of ISO 45001 
• Audit ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and internal management systems
