Work environment issues
Simply in a list. This is a telephone questionnaire to be used on employees/employers to investigate the levels of work environment legislation that are in place/adhered to.
The question is: Hvem er i praksis ansvarlig for, at arbejdspladsvurderingen bliver gennemfoert i jeres virksomhed?
Options below this include Sikkerhedsudvalget, sikkerhedsleder, etc., and then 'tillidsfolk'.
Are these responsible persons, or are they persons who provide confidential consultations of some sort if an accident takes place, for example? Not sure at all.
Advice appreciated!
