Challenges for foreign companies to comply in Norway
Norway's building regulations
Norway’s standards differ from those in EU countries in terms of certification requirements, and construction regulations, especially for foreign companies. Adjusting to them without guide must be difficult and expensive.
Workers safety and work time
Norwegian labor laws differ significantly from those in other countries, especially within the EU, with stricter regulations on worker safety and working time. Standard workweek is 37.5 hours, with limits on overtime. For foreign companies, adapting to these rules can be challenging, as violations of working hour restrictions can lead to fines and legal consequences.
Responsibility in construction projects
Responsibility for construction work is strictly regulated in Norway, with clear liability for safety, compliance, and quality placed on both contractors and employers, ensuring adherence to strict building codes. Additionally, proven experience in the Norwegian market is often required to meet regulatory and industry standards.
Employment contracts and certificates
Norwegian labor laws require strict compliance with employment contracts. We can also help your team get necessary industry certifications, including FSE and scissor lift licenses. We prioritize safety and compliance, ensuring that every aspect of your project meets the required standards.
