Laws and regulations

Laws and regulations! Almost every week we speak to entrepreneurs who think that the electrical installation of the leased business premises is the landlord's responsibility.

Well that may well be the case, but from the working conditions law you are responsible for this if your employees work here. As an employer, you must ensure that this electrical installation is inspected in accordance with NEN 3140 or nowadays the Scios scope 8 inspection. In addition, power tools must be tested in accordance with this standard.

Prevent fines from SZW (formerly the labor inspectorate) and make sure that a bad AVB (liability insurance company) also pays for the damage to your employee.
