NS inadequately protected employees from chromium-6

Dutch Railways (NS) employees may have come into contact with chromium-6 between 1970 and 2020. It is not known exactly how often or how much this happened. It is plausible that contact with chromium-6 while working at NS could cause certain disorders. The investigation also shows that NS did not always protect employees according to the applicable rules for safe and healthy working. As a result, employees may have been exposed to more chromium-6 than they should have been. RIVM research shows that, in which Utrecht University (IRAS) collaborated. Work between 1970 and 2020 examined at 17 locations .
