What is a Simple Risk Assessment?

The Simple Risk Assessment is a mandatory document under Dutch working conditions legislation (Arbowet) for virtually all businesses operating in the Netherlands. This document must be in place when a company has employees and needs to be updated regularly or whenever significant changes occur in the workplace. The Simple Risk Assessment provides a structured approach to identifying workplace hazards, evaluating associated risks, and implementing control measures. It must comply with the Working Conditions Act, its associated decree (Arbobesluit), and regulations (Arboregeling). For organizations with more than 25 employees, the assessment must be validated by a certified occupational health and safety service (Arbodienst). The document serves as both a legal compliance tool and a practical guide for maintaining workplace safety and health standards.
