Inspectie van elektrische arbeidsmiddelen
Also known as: rie, rie-inspectie, arbeidsmiddelen, jaarlijkse-keuring, keuringstermijn, inspectie-termijn, 5-jaar-keuring, periodic-inspection
Periodic inspection of hand tools, extension cords, and machines for electrical safety. Frequency based on risk inventory (typically 1×/year in workshops, longer in offices).
