| | Dutch translation:Arbowet ('98); Arbeidsomstandighedenwet | Explanation:
Worker's Compensation is covered under the Federal Employment Compensation Act and is intended to protect workers against work-related illness/death and protect workers from the dangers directly involved in their line or work.
I don't think there's a specific "law" that like the wet op/voor blah blah blah, but I think the Dutch equivalent of Worker's Compensation is covered under the Arbeidsomstandighedenwet of 1998, known as Arbowet '98. These laws (in the general scope) ensure that workers are provided a safe & healthy work environment.
According to Bureau Beroepsziekten, under article 5 section 1, "Inventarisatie en evaluatie van risico's" of the Arbowet'98, employers are to report all of the dangers in that line of work as well as all of the things that could cause illness. It reads:
"Inventarisatie en evaluatie van risico's
Artikel 5
1. Bij het voeren van het arbeidsomstandighedenbeleid legt de werkgever in een inventarisatie en evaluatie schriftelijk vast welke risico's de arbeid voor de werknemers met zich brengt. Deze inventarisatie en evaluatie bevat tevens een beschrijving van de gevaren en de risicobeperkende maatregelen en de risico's voor bijzondere categorieën van werknemers. De werkgever is tevens verplicht om als onderdeel van de inventarisatie en evaluatie een registratie bij te houden van arbeidsongevallen die voor de werknemers hebben geleid tot een ziekteverzuim."
The Ministerie van Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid also says that the Arbowet '98 also mandates employers to report all work related incidents to Arbiedsinspectie. This goes for all "arbeidsongevallen", minor and major (referred to as ernstig arbeidsongevallen). I didn't read the entire Arbowet, but this is partly covered in Article 6 "Voorkoming en beperking van zware ongevallen waarbijgevaarlijke stoffen zijn betrokken"
An overview of what "Workers' (or Workman's) Compensation" covers is at: http://www.law.cornell.edu/topics/workers_compensation.html
The two Dutch sources to which I'm referring are listed in the references below.

I actually don\'t think this should be translated since they are \"laws\" with \"official\" names so to speak... but if you\'re looking for the Dutch law which covers this same sort of thing, then it\'s the Arbowet. So if were translating this, I would put \"Worker\'s Compensation Law(s)\" in italics, and put a short description in dutch in parentheses or write (lijkend op Arbowet \'98)

just saw your next post which is also stuff covered under the Arbowet. You might have to check to see if there\'s a separate law that exists outside of the Arbowet in the NL, but I don\'t imagine so. Other stuff like this is covered under things such as a sociale vezekeringswet |
