Work with risks that requires a work environment plan

The work on a construction site entails risk for one’s own staff but just as often it entails risks for other employees. The work must therefore be risk-assessed, both individually and with regard to the general building process.

It is important that each company/entrepreneur carries out a risk assessment for their work and gives information to the building work environment co-ordinator for the construction phase. The risk assessments become an important starting point for both the entrepreneurs’ own systematic work environment management and for the collective work environment plan.
