Ever doubted whether your organisation's safety competence would hold up?
Most people have had that doubt, and rarely because no effort was made — the documentation sits in three places, the courses are a few years old, and nobody can point to the provision behind them. The two tracks are built to close that gap — narrated, assessed, and citing the article each requirement comes from.
Wendel Consult is one practitioner's answer to a problem he met three times from the buying side of the table: safety training that is expensive, generic, and cannot tell you which article of law it answers to.
Every module in both tracks is written and assessed by Bo Wendel — formerly Head of QHS at Ørsted, with a QHSE career across Energinet, Ørsted and Yara — professionally narrated, and checked against EUR-Lex article by article. When you licence a seat you are not buying a platform's back catalogue; you are buying one person's read of the law, checkable and accountable.
Every module is built on EU legislation — the Framework Directive 89/391/EEC and the directives that follow from it.
Two articles run through all of them: Article 6, the principles of prevention and the employer's duty to determine competence, and Article 12, which requires training during working hours, at no cost to the worker, adapted to the risk and repeated periodically.
Every legal claim is checked against EUR-Lex and the article appears on the slide. Where a duty comes from national law rather than EU law it is labelled as national and used as good practice. Where the law requires nothing at all, the module says so.
The main instruments the programme teaches from, grouped the way the EU groups them. 29 in total. No module touches all of them — each one names the instruments it teaches from, on the slide.
Grouping follows EU-OSHA's own division of the framework, the Article 16(1) individual directives and the related instruments. These are the instruments the programme teaches from — not a statement of what applies to your undertaking.
EU law teaches; national law illustrates. The directives are minimum requirements, and a Member State may go further. So the teaching is built on the EU instrument, and national law is brought in only where it earns its place.
It earns its place in three ways: where Member States have filled an EU silence differently and the difference is the lesson; where a duty exists only in national law; and where a national rule is the reason a familiar practice looks the way it does. In every case it is labelled as national and used as good practice — never presented as if it applied across the Union.
A worked example: EU law sets no frequency for a toolbox talk. Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands and Austria each answered that silence differently — and one of the four answers is not law at all, but a certification scheme. That contrast teaches something no single legal text can.
Material from outside the EU — UK HSE, US OSHA and CSB, Australian regulators — is used the same way and labelled the same way: third-country good practice, never as European law.
Not "compliant with EU regulations" — Art. 6(3)(a), on the slide, checkable in ten seconds.
States plainly where EU law requires nothing at all — no fear, no invented percentages.
Per-seat, 12-month licences. Revoke on exit and access dies — provably, not by promise.
Hazards & Risks from Safety Core, and Safety Management & PDCA from Safety Leadership — both the full module, narrated and assessed, free. No card, no seat used. See exactly what your people will see. Certificates are issued under a licence, not on the trial.
Claim your free course
On your own area of our training portal, hosted in the EU. Your administrator adds and removes people; you see only your own company's records. Nothing to install, nothing to maintain — and no learning platform of your own required. Already have an LMS? Tell us which one and we'll talk about integration.
We set up your company area and issue your seats. Your administrator invites people by e-mail and they start straight away — no IT project, no rollout.
Who completed what, when, and with what score — exportable whenever you need it. Every certificate carries an ID anyone can check at wendelconsult.com/verify.
Modules are revised when the directives or national rules change — and because the training lives with us, your people get the current version the day it is published. No re-uploading, no stale copies in circulation.
Each module ends with a knowledge check — seven questions, pass mark six of seven — and produces a completion record naming the worker, the module, the date and the score. That record, plus the signed training-record sheet supplied with every module, is the documented evidence that supports your competence and awareness requirements under ISO 45001 Cl. 7.2–7.3. The competence determination itself stays yours. A course records that someone completed and passed it; Article 6 leaves the judgement that they are competent for a given task with the employer, and no certificate can take that off you.
The EU Framework Directive 89/391/EEC and the daughter directives that follow it — PPE (89/656/EEC), work equipment (2009/104/EC), manual handling (90/269/EEC), carcinogens (2004/37/EC), noise (2003/10/EC) and the rest. Every legal claim in every module is checked against EUR-Lex, and the article appears on the slide. Where a duty comes from national law rather than EU law — a Danish §17 welding course, say — the module says so plainly instead of implying it applies everywhere.
Safety training your people complete online, at their own pace, instead of in a classroom. At Wendel Consult every module is professionally narrated, takes 20–40 minutes and ends with a knowledge check that records who completed what.
Safety Core is for everyone doing physical work — construction, manufacturing, logistics, utilities. Safety Leadership is for the supervisors and managers who plan and resource that work. Most companies license both.
No — and it isn't meant to be. The statutory §9 course trains your AMO representatives and must be delivered by an Arbejdstilsynet-approved provider. Safety Core trains everyone else on site and contributes to the training and instruction the Danish Working Environment Act requires. The part that covers your specific work and your own workplace is yours to add on top — a general e-learning module cannot do that for you.
Roughly 20–40 minutes per module, including the knowledge check. Workers can stop and resume; the portal keeps their place.
From €49 per seat per year for a single track at 101–500 seats, or €79 at 1–100 seats. Both tracks together run €75–€119 per seat per year depending on volume. Prices are published in full on the pricing page — no quote required to see them.
No. The training runs in your own area of our EU-hosted portal — nothing to install, no platform to maintain. Your administrator adds and removes people, and the records can be exported at any time. If you already have an LMS, tell us which one and we'll talk about integration.
The knowledge check — seven questions, pass mark six — creates a record of name, module, date and result, and every module comes with a signed training-record sheet. That is documented evidence toward the competence and awareness requirements — the competence determination itself stays with you as the employer.
The EU Framework Directive 89/391/EEC and the individual directives on PPE, work equipment, manual handling, carcinogens and noise. Every reference is checked against EUR-Lex, and the article is on the slide. Where a duty comes from Danish or other national law rather than EU law, the module marks it as national.
The modules are in English today. Danish versions are in production — the two free demo modules already run in Danish, with the same layout as the English. Further EU languages are produced on request.
Yes. One full module from each track — narrated and assessed, exactly as your people would see it — runs free, with no card and no seat used. The trial shows you the content; the certificate, the reporting and the records come with a licence.
The trainer's answer key gives the rationale and the slide reference for every question, so the gap is reviewable rather than guessed at. The worker revisits those slides and retakes the check; both attempts are recorded.
