Logistics professionals can now claim an additional grant
of between 100 and 200 euros to undertake safety training. The Sector Institute
for Transport and Logistics created this grant scheme to reduce the number of
safety incidents in the logistics sector.
A new addition to the range of grants available to the transport and
logistics sector is the option to support safety training with
a sum of between 100 and 200 euros. The aim is to
reduce the number of incidents.
Interest in forklift operator training
is said to have been waning recently. The subsidy is intended to
revive this interest. Multi-day training courses qualify for a subsidy of 200 euros,
whilst the one-day safety training course qualifies for a 100-euro grant.

Conditions for training providers
There are, however, a number of conditions attached to the grant
. For example, the training provider must hold SOOB certification,
to ensure that the training provider meets the minimum requirements regarding operational management
. 170 training providers in the Netherlands hold this certification. The
institutions apply for the grant. It operates on a ‘first come, first
’ basis. The total available budget may be exhausted
. Companies will then no longer be eligible for the subsidy.
