Arbo Advies Nederland B.V.

What Arbo Advies Nederland B.V. does

Arbo Advies Nederland B.V. (operating under the 'AAN' trade name) is a small, independent Dutch occupational health and safety consulting firm headquartered at Bijdorpplein 9-11 in Barendrecht, South Holland. Founded in 2019, the company provides B2B professional services to Dutch organizations, deploying certified safety professionals — Middelbaar Veiligheidskundige (MVK), Hoger Veiligheidskundige (HVK), and Integraal Veiligheidskundige (IVK) — to assess workplace risk, build compliance documentation, and deliver on-site safety management. With a disclosed headcount of six employees, the firm operates as a lean consultancy offering specialist capacity on a project or retained basis, rather than as a scaled employer of permanent safety staff.

The company's service portfolio centers on Risico-Inventarisatie en Evaluatie (RI&E) risk assessments, AANpak (Plan van Aanpak) implementation plans, VCA certification support including handbook development, accident analysis and improvement plans, multilingual toolbox meetings, workplace inspections, and ongoing compliance monitoring. The offering is human-expert delivery rather than a technology product — no proprietary software, platform, API, or AI tooling is disclosed. Primary target verticals are construction, petrochemical, and food/nutrition, with stated capability across all Dutch sectors. The firm reaches clients through direct B2B field sales using a partnership-based engagement model where candidates are matched and client-selected before placement, and emphasizes 24/7 availability for safety emergencies.

Commercially, the firm generates revenue through professional services fees for consulting engagements and personnel deployment, with pricing opaque and quoted per engagement rather than via disclosed subscription or recurring structures. Marketing is limited to a single corporate website — no social media presence, paid acquisition, or content distribution is identified. The company frames its value proposition around preventing the 200,000 annual workplace accidents in the Netherlands (of which 2,300 are serious and 60 fatal), targeting a Dutch market of approximately 350,000 businesses and 8 million employees. Ownership structure, financial backing, management composition, and revenue figures are not disclosed in available sources.
