A Practical Readiness Checklist for 2026 EHS Regulations in Belgium and the Netherlands

In 2026, regulatory changes will show up across PFAS, exposure limits, permits, asbestos, and chemical classification, often hitting sites where assumptions haven’t been revisited in years.

The challenge isn’t just knowing the rules have changed. It’s knowing where they touch your site and being able to show that risks were reviewed deliberately. Otherwise, inspections, projects, or shutdowns will force the issue.

That’s why we created the 2026 EHS Readiness Checklist for Benelux high-risk sites.

What the checklist helps you do

  • Sanity-check your 2026 EHS readiness in about 10 minutes
  • Translate regulatory change into clear, site-level review points
  • Spot gaps early and assign ownership before issues escalate
  • Align EHS, operations, maintenance, and projects around the same priorities

Covers key 2026 pressure points

  • PFAS (foams, water, packaging, legacy contamination)
  • Lead & diisocyanates (lower BOELVs and occupational health impact)
  • Environmental permits (nitrogen, impact assessment, project risk)
  • Asbestos (maintenance and shutdown readiness)
  • Chemical classification & documentation (CLP updates)

If most boxes are ticked, you’re ahead of the curve. If some aren’t, now’s the moment to act deliberately.

A few focused checks now are far easier than explaining surprises later.
