The Danish Working Environment Act is on a current basis supplemented by executive orders, which contain more detailed regulation. Executive orders are rules of law which are legally binding on the enterprises and which usually contain rules on penal sanctions.
Acts and regulations in English are unofficial translations and meant purely as a guidance tool. Arbejdstilsynes does not assume any liability for their contents in English. Only acts and regulations in Danish are official version and in force. In case of discrepancy, the original Danish text shall prevail.
Please note that the rules on this page may be outdated. We refer you to retsinformation.dk, where you will find the rules in force - in Danish.
