Introduction

The online tool "Check your workplace" helps to organize office and home workplaces ergonomically, which increases productivity and reduces absenteeism due to illness.

Failure to comply with occupational health and safety legislation can lead to significant fines for employers, both for office workplaces and for home workplaces.

Value for Customers

The tool helps companies to independently optimize workplaces, meets legal requirements and reduces costs by reducing absenteeism and increasing productivity.

Fines for unsafe workplaces and occupational health and safety legislation for SMEs

The fines for violations of the Occupational Health and Safety Act in the office can vary depending on the severity of the violation and the size of the company. The fine amounts can range from €340 to €13,500. In serious cases, such as industrial accidents leading to death, the fine can even reach €50,000.

Fines for unsafe home workplaces

The employer is also responsible for a safe and healthy workplace for home workplaces. If the home workplace does not comply with Arbo legislation, this can lead to fines. The employer must ensure an ergonomically designed workplace and instruct the employee about safe and healthy working. The fines for violations can be similar to those for office workplaces, depending on the specific situation and severity of the violation.
