DANISH Legal Register 🇩🇰

We released the first set of health, safety and environmental legislation for DENMARK 🇩🇰 as open data today!

This is part of the https://legl.cc project that started this year.

The data is shared using Airtable's native data sharing views. 

Check-out the share links here: https://airtable.com/shrhWR6OsenXgV18B

There are 2 tables of data: (1) legal register, (2) full-text articles.

Legal Register

The legal register table is simply a list of the laws in our database with associated metadata.

Full-Text Articles

The articles table is the content of the law.

Both the legal register and articles are available as filtered datasets depending on what's of most interest.  

  • Basic, a limited set of laws with application to almost every business;
  • Main, a larger set including more specialist legislative topics
  • Health and Safety, laws just related to H&S
  • Environment, laws just related to Environment, duh!; and 
  • All everything!

ILO

We started compiling a list of H&S laws based on those referenced on the website of the International Labour Organisation when building the database for Russia.  We did this for Denmark but the ilo webpage was last updated in 2014 and most if the laws referenced are no longer in force.

The current map of laws to ILO classes is shown here https://airtable.com/shr0defXrS64yT58T 
Please help update the mapping to the latest Danish H&S laws!
