Compliance with labour regulations

Work inspections are visits carried out with the objective of verifying that companies comply with all current labour regulations. This includes adherence to laws on hiring personnel, health and safety conditions in the workplace, and employment conditions that ensure the protection of employees’ rights.

These inspections can be either scheduled or unannounced to ensure that working conditions are suitable at all times and that there are no violations jeopardising employees’ safety and rights.
