RISK INVENTORY & EVALUATION (RI&E) AND ACTION PLAN (PLAN VAN AANPAK)
Carried out under article 5 of the Arbeidsomstandighedenwet ("Arbowet"). Every employer, regardless of size, must have a written RI&E identifying workplace risks and an accompanying plan van aanpak describing how and by when those risks will be addressed.
1. ASSESSMENT 1.1. Assessed on by: (prevention officer). 1.2. Hazards identified, by area: 1.3. Overall risk rating: .
2. EXISTING AND PLANNED MEASURES 2.1.
3. PLAN VAN AANPAK — ACTIONS AND DEADLINES 3.1. 3.2. Responsible person overall: .
4. RECOGNISED BRANCH RI&E TOOL 4.1. . 4.2. An employer with 25 or fewer employees that uses a recognised branch RI&E instrument (erkend brancheinstrument) does NOT need to have the RI&E independently certified/verified (getoetst) by a certified expert — this is a significant cost saving for small businesses.
5. FINES FOR NON-COMPLIANCE 5.1. ⚠️ The Nederlandse Arbeidsinspectie fines an employer without a valid RI&E €3,000–€13,500 on first inspection, and up to €27,000 for repeat non-compliance. The RI&E is checked at any workplace inspection and after any workplace accident.
6. RELATED OBLIGATIONS 6.1. The RI&E must be updated whenever working conditions change materially, and reviewed after any workplace accident (see the ongevallenregister — accident register). 6.2. Emergency response staffing (BHV — bedrijfshulpverlening) is determined based on the outcome of this RI&E, including the number of visitors/guests present.
7. REVIEW 7.1. Next review due: .
