Labour protection

Your employer may only record and process personal information that is directly relevant to your employment. No exceptions are made to this principle, even with your consent. The employer must primarily gather information about you directly from you or from other sources with your consent. The employer is not entitled to open any messages addressed to your e-mail address, unless otherwise agreed on with you.

The aim of labour protection is to ensure the health and safety of the employees in the workplace. The employer is obliged to appoint a labour protection manager for each workplace. Employees and officials are represented by a labour protection delegate in workplaces that employ a minimum of 10 employees.

Occupational safety You are entitled to a safe and healthy working environment. The employer is responsible for ensuring occupational health and safety. If your work compromises your physical or mental health, or you feel you have been harassed or inappropriately treated, your employer is obliged to take measures to remedy such grievances.You can also contact your occupational health care for an evaluation of the health risks and strain related to your work.

Occupational health care The employer must provide you with access to occupational health care as a proactive measure to safeguard against any health risks related to your job. Preventive occupational health care is intended for all employees regardless of the nature of their employment relationship. Occupational health care can also include medical treatments. If you work as a self-employed person, be sure and set up an occupational health care system for yourself.
