Every day we deliver labor around the world

For work in Denmark:
Our employees are paid in accordance with the Danish Industry Agreement and relevant local agreements that our customers are covered by.

We comply with all applicable Danish laws and regulations. Employees are covered by statutory occupational injury insurance and, where applicable, also by our professional liability insurance.

We respect and comply with international conventions on human rights and labor rights, including ILO standards.

When working in the EU:
When working in other EU countries, we ensure compliance with local employee relations legislation. This includes A1 certificate requirements and possible registration in relevant national registers. Depending on several factors, the employee will be covered by social security either in the country of work or in Denmark - in accordance with EU regulations.

We consult with local advisors to ensure compliance with local regulations.

DMA International is a member of DI and is a signatory to the Industrial Agreement. In addition, DMA employees can be paid according to specific local agreements, and we work with customers who want specific supplementary agreements.

Employees working on projects in Denmark pay tax in Denmark. When working in another EU country, employees will generally be liable for tax in the country where the work is performed. However, tax liability depends on several factors - including the length of stay, local tax rules and the applicable double taxation agreements, which aim to prevent double taxation. This means that the employee usually only has to pay tax in either the country of work or the home country.

When working outside the EU, there may be different conditions depending on national regulations. In these cases, we work with local advisors to ensure that all tax matters and permits are handled correctly and in accordance with applicable legislation.

We comply with international labor regulations and conventions. DMA employees work according to the EU Working Time Directive.

Directive 2003/88/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003 concerning certain aspects of the organization of working time

We have different agreements with our employees in terms of how many weeks they are out at a time. This can be based on customer requests or local agreements. Rotation plans are drawn up for each project, where we ensure that the number of employees on a project is kept constant so that production is not slowed down by rotations.

It is essential for us to comply with all health and safety guidelines and legislation. And we are evolving in line with the ever-increasing demands in this area. It is important for us to ensure both the framework and management of the risks associated with the working environment. DMA International is certified according to the ISO 45001 standard. On our fixed-price projects, we work in accordance with the standard's requirements and guidelines and ensure systematic control of the working environment, evaluation and targeted improvement of our efforts. This helps to reduce workplace accidents and create safe and healthy workplaces that motivate employees and thus increase productivity.

We work safely - or not at all. For us, safety is a cornerstone of our ethics and employee training. When we perform specialized tasks, we guarantee a high level of safety for everyone involved - even if it may require more time.

DMA always has a responsibility to ensure that our employees are trained in general safety procedures and that they know and follow guidelines on construction sites. 

When our employees work under the instruction of our customers, the company in question is responsible for ensuring that all employees understand and follow project guidelines and adhere to agreed procedures at all times. And this is where language barriers must be taken seriously.

Employees also have a responsibility for their own safety and that of their colleagues.

DMA International provides safety equipment, protective equipment and workwear unless otherwise agreed with our customers.

Language barriers on a construction site can pose a significant safety risk, especially when it comes to understanding work instructions, safety procedures and warnings. Therefore, it is also important that the responsible team leader is fully aware of this and identifies any challenges and misunderstandings.

The younger generation in particular are proficient in English and may not need translation into their own language. We assess and rate all our people according to the international language rating system CEFR.

When DMA International provides manpower to participate in a project at our customers, where there are separate or specific procedures and instructions, our customers are responsible for translating these instructions - preferably into native languages to ensure that they are understood. We are happy to assist with the translation work.

When DMA International provides employees on an hourly basis, the customer is responsible for the daily management, instruction and associated HSE responsibilities.

On fixed price projects, DMA International is responsible for the management and instruction of employees on site, including full responsibility for health and safety (HSE).
