Working Conditions Act

The Working Conditions Act (Dutch) regulates the rights and obligations of both employers and employees regarding safe and healthy working.

The Working Conditions Act (Arbowet) applies wherever salaried or contract work is carried out. Health and safety rules also apply to special groups/professions, such as work-from-home and remote workers, agency workers, volunteers and the self-employed.
