What Pure Safety does

Pure Safety B.V. is a Dutch occupational health and safety consulting firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in Enschede, Netherlands. The company advises Dutch employers on compliance with the Arbowet (Dutch Working Conditions Act), the European Machinery Directive (Machinerichtlijn), and the Warenwetbesluit Machines, among other regulatory frameworks. Its service portfolio centers on the mandatory Risico-inventarisatie en -evaluatie (RI&E) and spans twelve distinct advisory offerings, including VCA implementation and certification support, machine safety and CE marking, occupational hygiene consulting, hazardous substances risk assessment (including PGS 15), ARIE/BRZO advisory for companies working with dangerous substances, emergency and evacuation planning (Bedrijfsnoodplan / Ontruimingsplan), comprehensive safety signage solutions, 5S/6S workplace methodology, and prevention officer training. All services are delivered as bespoke professional engagements by HVK-certified safety experts, with no software platform or productized offering.

The firm operates a sales-led, consultative go-to-market: prospective clients reach Pure Safety via phone, email, or website contact form, and engagements are scoped per client. Distribution is direct, with no intermediaries or resellers, and the firm serves only the Dutch market. Its customer base is concentrated in Dutch enterprise accounts across industrial manufacturing, food processing, and adjacent sectors — visible logos include Aviko, Abbott, TenCate, Europastry, Heracles, Bolletje (Blenke), Waterstromen, and others. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quoted per engagement depending on scope and organizational needs.

Pure Safety is privately held by two co-owners / DGAs (Hans Ulkeman and Mike Besten), with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding rounds. The team comprises 6–9 people including the two owners, HSE officers, and administrative staff. The firm carries no patents, no public awards, and no AI/ML capabilities — its value proposition is grounded in regulatory expertise, practical implementation experience, and personal relationships with Dutch enterprise clients.

Broad incumbents

• Royal HaskoningDHV: Large Dutch engineering and environmental consultancy with broad EHS, safety and compliance advisory practices serving industrial clients across Europe. Comparable to Pure Safety because it competes for the same Dutch employer-driven workplace safety and environmental mandates, though at vastly larger scale and with a broader portfolio.
• TÜV Rheinland: German-headquartered TIC and EHS advisory group providing CE marking, machine safety, occupational health and management system certification. Comparable because it competes for the same EU industrial compliance work that Pure Safety performs for Dutch employers, particularly around machinery and dangerous substances.
• Normec: Dutch TIC platform with a portfolio of testing, inspection and certification brands covering occupational health, safety, environmental and process safety. Comparable to Pure Safety because it addresses the same Dutch employer compliance needs (RI&E-adjacent services, VCA, hazardous substances), though at much larger scale.
• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection and certification (TIC) group with industry-leading occupational H&S, machine safety and CE marking advisory lines. Directly comparable to Pure Safety's CE marking, VCA and workplace safety services, though operating at vastly larger scale across multiple continents.
• Antea Group: Dutch engineering and environmental consultancy providing safety, environmental and compliance advisory to industrial and public-sector clients. Comparable because it competes for workplace safety, environmental compliance and hazardous substances work that Pure Safety's enterprise customers (e.g., Waterstromen) also procure.
• Kiwa: Dutch-headquartered TIC firm specialising in testing, inspection and certification across safety, environmental and process domains. Comparable because it overlaps with Pure Safety's VCA, CE marking and regulatory compliance services for Dutch industrial and manufacturing clients, while operating far more broadly.
• DNV: Global assurance, certification and EHS advisory firm active in occupational health, machine safety and management system certification (including safety schemes analogous to VCA). Comparable because it serves the same Dutch and European industrial buyer base that Pure Safety targets, but with global scale and a much wider service menu.
• Stichting ArboNed: Major Dutch occupational health services organisation contracted by employers to deliver arbo services, RI&E support, sickness absence guidance and prevention officer coverage. Comparable to Pure Safety because it serves the same Dutch employer obligation under the Arbowet, though at far greater scale and as a multi-tenant arbo provider.
• DEKRA: Global TIC and certification organisation with strong machine safety, CE marking and occupational H&S practices serving industrial clients in Europe. Comparable to Pure Safety because it provides overlapping machinery safety and workplace compliance advisory that Dutch manufacturers and operators routinely buy.

Regional players

• Vinçotte: Belgian TIC and inspection firm providing CE marking, machine safety and occupational safety services across the Benelux. Comparable to Pure Safety because it sells overlapping machine safety and workplace compliance services to industrial clients in neighbouring markets, though it does not actively compete inside the Netherlands to the same degree.
