In the Netherlands, electrical companies must comply with various norms and standards when it comes to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Failure to comply with legal and normative requirements can result in fines that vary depending on the severity of the violation and the size of the business.
In serious cases, the Labor Inspectorate may decide to close a company temporarily or permanently until safety in the workplace is ensured. In the event of accidents due to non-compliance with safety standards, companies may be held liable. Furthermore, not being able to use PPE correctly increases the risk of serious injuries or even fatal accidents for employees - the primary reason why compliance with these standards is critical.
That’s why we at WEAR 2B SAFE believe that our services should not only consist of supplying PPE. We are happy to help you make the right choices, identify requirements, train people, and ensure PPE remains 100% effective for a long time.
