Asbestos

On the 1st of July 2019 The Occupational Safety Decree IV Caribbean Netherlands (‘Arbeidsveiligheidsbesluit IV Caribisch Nederland’) entered into force. This decree sets rules for, among others, working with asbestos. This is in the interest of healthy and safe working conditions in the Caribbean Netherlands, so that everyone can do their work in a motivated, vital and productive way until they retire.
