Freelance Preventieadviseur

About the role

We’re looking for an experienced Preventieadviseur with a focus on chemical agents (chemische agentia) to join our freelance network in Belgium. You’ll work directly with NextSDS clients to assess risks related to hazardous substances, ensure regulatory compliance, and implement safe handling practices.

How this works

You bring the NextSDS platform into engagements with the clients you already serve, and we route inbound requests in your region to you. You hold the client relationship. We invoice the client for the platform; you invoice on top for your services.

About NextSDS

NextSDS is a Belgian SaaS platform that turns supplier-formatted Safety Data Sheets into structured data — parsing them, keeping them current against REACH, CLP and national frameworks, flagging restricted substances, and generating the documentation HSE teams used to prepare by hand. We are seed-stage, founded in 2024, backed by KBC Start it and imec.istart.

What you’ll do

• Conduct risk assessments for chemical agents in the workplace
• Review and validate Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for compliance with CLP and REACH
• Advise on exposure limits, storage, and safe handling of hazardous substances
• Support clients with their obligations under the Welzijnswet, Codex, and the KB Chemische Agentia
• Use the NextSDS platform to handle safety instruction cards, regulatory tracking and risk-assessment drafts faster than you can by hand

What we’re looking for

• A certified Preventieadviseur (niveau 1 or 2) with proven experience in chemical agents
• Strong knowledge of Belgian workplace safety legislation (Welzijnswet, Codex over het welzijn op het werk, KB Chemische Agentia)
• Hands-on experience with REACH, CLP, and SDS management
• Comfortable writing risk assessments and safety instruction cards in Dutch and/or French
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple client engagements

Why NextSDS

• The platform handles SDS parsing, regulatory tracking and document generation — you spend your time on the judgement work
• You set your own availability and hold the client relationships
• Be part of a Benelux and DACH network of safety professionals working with the same platform
