Human cap­it­al is the greatest asset of any organ­isa­tion. Ensur­ing the well-being, health, and safety of your employ­ees is essen­tial.

Pro­tec­tion of health and safety, hygiene, ergo­nom­ics, and psychoso­cial haz­ards such as stress, burnout, bul­ly­ing, and viol­ence are key aspects of every occu­pa­tion­al health and safety policy. Employ­ers must ensure the safety and health of their employ­ees. This duty of care also applies to tem­por­ary work­ers, interns, volun­teers, and inde­pend­ent con­tract­ors if they are in a pos­i­tion com­par­able to that of an employ­ee.

We provide advice and lit­ig­a­tion ser­vices on a wide range of issues related to work­ing con­di­tions. Our ser­vices sim­pli­fy your occu­pa­tion­al health and safety policy and reduce the time spent on com­pli­ance. With our extens­ive exper­i­ence, we can also sup­port you with claims from employ­ees or (pro­posed) sanc­tions from the Inspect­or­ate SZW (labor inspect­or­ate).
