The Netherlands has more and more high-rise buildings. The pressure on the available space is increasing with the result that buildings are being built higher and higher. A challenge for many companies because it creates increasingly complex issues and greater business risks. This is also apparent from the figures; at the time of writing, every month there are no fewer than 557 serious and two fatal accidents related to working at height. This makes it the leading cause of death at work and one of the most important points of attention for employers. The Labor Inspectorate is also active in this regard and ensures that the laws and regulations are complied with. Enforcement is becoming increasingly strict and violations are a criminal offense and the employer can also be held liable in the event of accidents. So make sure you keep the security risks to a minimum.
