Chris Hopley Jun 11, 2009:
context Yes, please provide more context by posting a sample sentence.
Textpertise Jun 10, 2009:
concepts and contexts I have already agreed with Max as regards the general applicability of his answer (see my "agree" entry). My answer will be valid only if supported by the context. So yes, additional context will certainly help answer this question.
Kate Hudson (X) Jun 10, 2009:
I agree with Max, more context is definitely needed to answer this properly.
Max Nuijens Jun 10, 2009:
concepts and contexts Could the asker provide us with some more context?

health & safety

Perhaps this is a proper tag for what is meant. Sure it refers to the Working Conditions Act, etc. In practice this means health and safety aspects of a place where people work.
Peer comment(s):
agree Textpertise : I have seen "arbotechnisch" used most often in discussions of ergonomics. ddescamps should consider whether ergonomics is meant rather than the more general Health and Safety. I am thus making a separate entry for that eventuality though I agree with Max.

It is used to indicate technical ARBO requirements. These include ergonomic aspects, which are an important part of staying healthy and safe on the job. Still, I feel that ergonomic is too narrow. ARBO encompasses many different aspects.
agree Bruce Gordon : Health & safety in the workplace includes ergonomics, to my mind. One of my major institutional clients has just changed its glossary to have 'Arbo' = health & safety, and it's a bank!

Practical application of the Dutch working conditions Act

There is no fixed term. But that is what it is. It is the practical application of the Dutch Working Conditions Act. That means safety, work circumstances, etc.

in accordance with the Work Conditions Act

Since "ARBO" stands for "Arbeidsomstandighedenwet", "arbotechnisch" indicates that the requirements/conditions mentioned in the "ARBO" are (or should be) met.

agree Chris Hopley : aka "health & safety compliant"
