Safety

Sector-specific health and safety catalogue

A new Working Conditions Act came into force on 1 January 2007, decentralising responsibility for health and safety policy. This new law requires organisations to set out their own health and safety rules in a 'health and safety catalogue'. Companies and institutions can do this individually or on a sectoral basis. TenneT has opted for the latter. In 2008 we joined an industry working group made up of grid operators. The resulting industry-wide health and safety catalogue is scheduled for completion by the beginning of 2010.
