Statute overview

About this statute

Employers must organize work safely and inform and train workers; workers must take care and report dangers. Werkgevers must arrange occupational support and emergency-response help, keep key arrangements in writing, consult employee representatives in some cases, and comply with official instructions; employees in the listed role may stop work in immediate danger and keep their wage during the interruption. This provision updates the Dutch occupational safety framework, adds employer and worker compliance duties, gives inspectors enforcement powers, and prohibits certain unsafe manufacture, possession, use, sale, or display of dangerous equipment unless required conditions are met.
