Do any of these sound familiar?
Setting up a Dutch office involves a lot. Staying compliant with local labor law is one challenge international companies frequently miss, until it's too late.
Dutch law is unfamiliar territory
The Arbowet requires a formal risk assessment for every workplace with employees. For HQ's abroad, these obligations are easy to overlook — until the Labour Inspectorate (Inspectie SZW) comes knocking. Fines can reach tens of thousands of euros.
The language barrier
Dutch health & safety regulations are written in Dutch. Understanding exactly what applies to your office — and what qualifies as a valid RI&E — requires local expertise you don't have.
Bridging HQ and local requirements
Your company may have strong global EHS standards, but Dutch law has its own requirements. Aligning corporate policy with what Dutch inspectors actually look for requires someone who knows both worlds.
You didn't know this applied to you
Many foreign companies assume home-country safety policies are sufficient, or that Dutch HR handles it. The legal obligation sits with the employer — without a valid RI&E, you're exposed.
We handle it, from first inspection to final sign-off
With EFAS, you get a complete RI&E service that removes all the complexity — especially for organizations not familiar with Dutch regulations.

We work in English throughout the entire process. From the initial site visit to the final report — no language barriers, no miscommunication.

Our certified safety experts know the Arbowet inside out, and specifically know what international companies often miss. We make sure your RI&E holds up under scrutiny.
HQ-ready documentation
We deliver a professional report that satisfies Dutch inspectors and can be shared directly with your corporate EHS or legal team abroad. In English or Dutch — your choice.
Independent review included
Your RI&E is reviewed by an accredited independent party, guaranteeing acceptance by Dutch authorities — and giving your headquarters peace of mind.
