No one should have to be sick, injured or die in this job. Today, however, there are too many people who every day risk their bodies, health and ultimately, their lives on the job.
In 2019, the event occurred more than 100,000 accidents and up to 48 people lost their lives in the offices. A man from Gothenburg, sweden, died after he was given a post of a young construction workers, the Fighters, was killed when he fell twelve feet down to a concrete floor. There are far too many examples of this. There are people who can never go home to their families. Children who have lost their parents. The near and the dear ones, who have grieved for too early. More work needs to be done in order that no-one should be killed or hurt on the job.
on the workstations that do not have their own local security organisation, in their efforts to save lives. The support of both employers and employees in their day to day work. We believe that the regional health and safety personnel, should have the opportunity to visit the workplaces. Therefore, the government proposes that the Swedish work environment act is amended so that the regional health and safety representative will receive the expanded rights of access to all workplaces covered by collective bargaining agreements. We are in the Building, and IF of Metal, with members of particular high-risk industries, the support for this proposal, along with many other trade unions as well as employers. For employers, it is not the least, to create a more fair competition.

In all workplaces with more than five employees in the day to be a health and safety representative. At the same time, are working more and more workers are in workplaces in which there is no local safety officer. The fluidity of the labour market, and a significant increase in business with a few employees, are just two of the reasons for this.
first of all, in the field of construction and civil engineering industries, the percentage of posted workers has increased significantly. With the posted workforce refers to the employees of one country who are temporarily working in Sweden on behalf of the employer. Today, there are jobs where posted workers are working. Where there is a lack of knowledge about the English health and safety rules and conditions for the functioning of the cooperation between the management and the trade union health and safety representative of the workplace environment. The risk of ill-health, and the severity of accidents is much higher in such jobs.
. The vast majority of employers and businesses in their responsible very seriously. They have to follow the rules that apply, provide training for their employees, and to cooperate with the authorities, and the health and safety representative.
the safety delegates are the employees ‚ arbetsmiljörepresentanter. Skyddsombudens’s mission is to work together with the employer, call attention to the shortcomings in the work environment, and the development of the local work environment. In the workplace, where there is no local safety officer, the regional health and safety personnel the mission of the local security duties. It’s about building a collaborative work environment between the company and the union and to explicitly show the deficiencies of the working environment that need to be addressed.
and, In particular, to small businesses, which typically lack conditions, and in the knowledge that the development of a local environment work, the regional health and safety personnel with a significant resource. In the end, it’s all about building a collaborative work environment. A safe and sustainable working environment is something that can only be achieved in partnership.
There have been voices in the policy debate – including that of the SD of the regional health and safety personnel, should be abolished and replaced with a state-arbetsmiljörådgivare. We believe that it would be absolutely the wrong way to go.
today, the regional health and safety personnel only to work in jobs in which there is at least one employee who is a member of a trade union. The requirement of having at least one member, with the result that it is the companies that have collective bargaining agreements, but the regional health and safety personnel shall not be allowed. This is particularly the case in the workplace, with many of the posted worker.
In many documented cases, it has been a matter of the life-threatening circumstances, sub-standard scaffolding, removal of asbestos without protective gear and workers, who handle heavy equipment without any training.
for businesses with a Swedish collective agreement, but a large percentage of posted workers, are not able to be controlled in the same way as any other company with a collective bargaining agreement is not reasonable. The result is that the companies that get this right at risk of being priced out of the rogue operators who are giving of security by means of loopholes in the law. In particular, running in tens of thousands of people who are working in Sweden, the major risks to their health and their lives. It’s not just about the risk of accidents in the workplace, but also on the risk of work-related diseases.
To the company with a Swedish collective agreement, but a large percentage of posted workers, are not able to be controlled in the same way as any other company with a collective bargaining agreement is not reasonable.
This is completely unacceptable. That is why it is important to make the right of access to the regional health and safety representative also has the right to visit the workplace, where the employer has, or usually has a collective agreement.
There have been voices in the policy debate – including that of the Day – that the regional health and safety personnel, should be abolished and replaced with a state-arbetsmiljörådgivare. We believe that it would be absolutely the wrong way to go. The interaction between the trade unions and the employers is one of the cornerstones of the Swedish work environment act.
The regional health and safety personnel are branschkunniga, and make great efforts in order to increase their sense of security and safety in the workplace, where the absence of a local functioning of the protection work. They can also help you in recruiting the local health and safety representative, in order to get to the local work environment. It is a process that can save lives.
in A job market in a state of change requires a new policy decision, in order to be able to maintain a high level of safety in the work environment. That’s why we want to strengthen the skyddsombudens role, and proposes that the regional health and safety personnel should also be able to work on any of the jobs that have, or usually has a collective agreement. It would make a difference, in order to increase the security and safety in the workplace.
the Government put this proposal on the parliament’s table. Working together, we can do anything, really, in order to prevent more and more workers fall ill, get injured or die because of your job.
