Changes in Dutch Occupational Health and Safety Law

The employment market changes at a fast pace and the sustainable deployment of personnel is becoming increasingly important. Current Occupational Health & Safety law is not up-to-date. Employment conditions are changing rapidly and this requires changes in the law too. On 24 January 2017, the Upper House approved the legislative proposal for an amended Occupational Health & Safety law.

What has changed in this law? Where are the focus areas?

• Open surgery for the Health and Safety doctor;
• Right to ask for a second opinion;
• Company doctor has access to work floor;
• Role of company doctor is more independent;
• Speaking to employee representative;
• Basic contract Health and Safetyprovision;
• Regulations and contract;
• Start date of law.
