Notify the Danish Working Environment Authority of a new construction site

As the client, you have a duty to notify the Danish Working Environment Authority of a new construction site before work starts.

This applies if you expect the site to meet one of the two following conditions:

• Work will last more than 30 working days and there will be at least 20 employees working on the site at the same time.

• The estimated workload is over 500 man-days (full-time equivalents).

You are permitted to let others carry out the notification, e.g. a consultant, project supervisor or general contractor.
