Understanding Right to Work and Chain Liability in the Netherlands
Compliance is more than a checklist — it’s essential to project success in the Netherlands.
This webinar explores Right to Work, Chain Liability (WKA), and worker classification, helping you spot risks early, verify legal work status, and avoid fines, delays, or reputational harm.
When it comes to compliance in the Netherlands, mistakes are costly. Every misstep, from the first day a worker sets foot on site, can expose you to Chain Liability (WKA) risks, steep fines, project delays, and serious reputational damage.
We understand the pressures you face — tight deadlines, complex regulations, multi-national workforces — across the engineering, construction, telecom, and data centre construction sectors.
This session will equip you with practical, actionable strategies to get compliance right from Day One — and to protect your projects, your workforce, and your reputation.
