Who should have the work environment training?
All employees who are elected as a working environment representative or appointed as supervisor in the HSO must complete the statutory work environment training.
Which companies must have a health and safety organization?
All companies with ten or more employees who perform work for an employer must have a Health and Safety Organization (HSO). The key people in the HSO are these three people:
- The employer

- The supervisor
HSO must continuously work with the company’s working environment. This means that HSO works with everyday working environment problems and the longer-term health and safety problems.

HSO must be large enough to be able to carry out its tasks satisfactorily, and it must always be possible to get in touch with its work environment representative. In companies with 35 employees and above, there must be two instances:
One or more working environment groups and a committee that takes care of the overall work environment tasks where the employer or his representative participates.
