Risk Assessment and Evaluation (RAE, or RI&E in Dutch)

The Risk Assessment and Evaluation (RAE), in Dutch also known as the RI&E, is a mandatory tool for employers to promote health and safety in their company. Every company with employees must determine if and how the work could be dangerous or unhealthy for the employees. The Dutch Labour Inspectorate checks whether the RAE is up to date, complete and assessed.

Mandatory for all employers

As such, the risk assessment is mandatory for all employers (with the exception of independent contractors). The Action Plan is a mandatory part of the risk assessment under the Dutch Working Conditions Act.

The law stipulates that your RAE is assessed by a certified occupational health and safety service/expert. Companies with fewer than 25 employees that use an accredited RAE tool do not have to have their risk assessment approved.

The risk assessment must be up to date at all times. In the event of organisational changes, you will have to update your risk assessment.
