Wim Van Den Eede

If we do our work well, then you won’t need us any more. This is the mantra I apply as external prevention adviser at Mensura, where I have been working since 2000. And this mantra has enabled me to visit a great many sectors for both short and long-term assignments. Right from the start, I developed a keen interest in fire safety and the logistics sector.

In my spare time, I come up for air by walking, doing quizzes, playing golf, gardening, getting out into nature and playing football.

I help guide the internal prevention departments of companies in implementing specific projects. In doing so, I use my knowledge and experience in all areas of safety and wellbeing – from machines, fire, food safety, accident analyses and asbestos to legionella. Clients come to me for:

• Guiding the start-up and maintenance of dynamic risk management systems
• Carrying out wellbeing audits and risk analyses
• Setting up overall and annual action plans, annual reports on internal prevention departments, safety procedures
• Presenting toolbox meetings and safety training courses, including for fire safety
• Taking part in and administering health and safety committees in the workplace
• Investigating serious accidents at work
• Monitoring inspection visits by FPS WASO
• Supporting and running internal prevention departments in the absence of the internal prevention adviser
• Establishing procedures on fire safety, organising fire crews, evacuation exercises
