ARBETSMILJÖVERKET

The Swedish Work Environment Authority is a regulatory authority. We have the mandate from the government and the Riksdag to see that laws about work environment and working hours are followed by companies and organisations. We are also to some extent, responsible for the Tobacco Act and the Environmental Code when it comes to questions about genetic engineering and pesticides... All employees in Sweden have the right to a good work environment, according to the Work Environment Act. No work should lead to sickness, injury or death. Our goal is to reduce the risks of ill health and accidents in working life, and to improve the work environment from a holistic perspective.
