LABOUR INSPECTION / ARBEIDSINSPECTIE
The Arbeidsinspectie ( www.arbeidsinspectie.nl ) is subordinate to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment ( Ministerie van Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid – www.inspectieszw.nl ) .
In carrying out inspections, the Dutch Labour Inspectorate works closely with the Department of Social Intelligence and Investigations, the Social Insurance Office, the tax and customs authorities and the immigration police. The basic activities of the Labour Inspectorate include conducting preventive and reactive inspections (e.g. as a result of complaints, accidents etc.) and advisory activities.
