A certain task involves immediate and serious danger to the employees' life or health, and the employer does not deal with the danger at once. What may the safety representative (skyddsombudet) do?
In the exam (Swedish)
Ett visst arbete innebär omedelbar och allvarlig fara för de anställdas liv eller hälsa, och arbetsgivaren åtgärdar inte faran direkt. Vad får skyddsombudet göra?
- aNothing – only the police and the court may stop workIngenting – bara polisen och domstolen får stoppa ett arbete
- bStop the work until the Swedish Work Environment Authority has taken a positionStoppa arbetet tills Arbetsmiljöverket har tagit ställningCorrect answer
- cDismiss all the employees who work there and close the companySäga upp alla anställda som arbetar där och stänga företaget
- dFine the employer on the spot and take over the management of the companyGe arbetsgivaren böter direkt och ta över ledningen av företaget
Why?
The safety representative is chosen from among the employees and keeps watch over the working environment. In case of serious danger, the safety representative may stop the work until the Swedish Work Environment Authority (Arbetsmiljöverket) has decided what applies, but it is the employer who has the main responsibility for a safe working environment.
