Arbeidsomstandighedenwet (The Working Conditions Act)
The Working Conditions Act (in Dutch: Arbeidsomstandighedenwet) contains the most general provisions and requirements regarding working conditions and stipulates that an employer and employee are jointly liable in supporting health, safety and wellness in the workplace. The employer has to set up a working conditions policy within the company. The employer must, among other things, prevent sickness and any danger to the health of employees and make an effort to reintegrate sick employees in the working process. The employer is required to use the services of a working-conditions service, an institution that assists the employer in the overview and evaluation of the risks, assists sick employees, advises the employer on reintegration of sick employees, and more.
