If you work in the Netherlands and your work is unsafe, unhealthy or unfair, you can report this. You must always report the problem to your employer first. If that does not work, you can report it to the occupational health and safety service. If the problem continues to exist, report it to the Netherlands Labour Authority.
You can submit a report to the Netherlands Labour Authority if your workplace is unsafe or your work is making you sick. You can also report any workplace accidents. You can also report situations relating to exploitation, underpayment, working hours, bullying or unethical behaviour.
If you feel that your work is unsafe or unhealthy, you can talk to your boss about this. If this does not help and you still feel your workplace is unsafe, you can contact the occupational health and safety service or an occupational health adviser. In an emergency, call the emergency number 112.
If nothing changes, report the situation to the Netherlands Labour Authority. This organisation checks that businesses comply with the law.
A workplace accident must be reported to the Netherlands Labour Authority if someone dies, suffers a permanent injury or needs to be taken to hospital. This is called a reportable accident. Your boss must report it, but you or one of your colleagues can report it too. To do this, go to the website of the Netherlands Labour Authority.
You can also submit a report if you are underpaid, exploited, having to work too many hours, or dealing with unethical behaviour such as bullying or discrimination.
Talk to your boss or HR first. You can also speak to the works council, a confidential adviser, your employment agency or the company doctor. If this does not help, you can report the matter to the Netherlands Labour Authority. It checks whether businesses follow the rules.
