Occupational Health Service Role in Reintegration Delft: Complaints and Legal Steps

## Introduction In Delft, with its dynamic work environment at TU Delft and high-tech companies, the occupational health service advises on reintegration after illness. Incorrect advice can lead to sanctions from the UWV. This article highlights the role of occupational health services in Delft, local complaints and how to proceed legally. ## Role of Occupational Health Service in Delft Occupational health services such as ArboNed or Randstad in the Delft region prepare a problem analysis, approve work resumptions and coordinate Track 1 and 2. They must remain independent, also with local employers such as ASML or university staff. In Delft collective labour agreements, such as for the municipality or education, their advice is binding. ## Common Complaints Complaints in Delft concern conflicts of interest with local employers, incorrect medical assessments due to lack of specialists and too quick work resumption without adaptation of workplaces in historic buildings. TU Delft employees often report pressure on second opinions. ## Legal Steps 1. File a complaint with the occupational health service itself. 2. Escalate to your employer or UWV office in The Hague (for Delft residents). 3. Turn to the Disputes Committee for Occupational Health Services or the subdistrict court in The Hague. Local trade unions such as FNV in Delft offer free advice. ## Gathering Evidence Keep all consultation reports, emails and seek a second opinion from a Delft general practitioner or specialist at Reinier de Graaf Hospital. Successful cases in the region, such as at TU Delft, cancel sanctions and demand transparency. Claim your rights in Delft! (248 words)
