Arbetsmiljörevision

Arbetsmiljörevision, often translated as occupational environment audit or workplace safety audit, is a systematic and documented process used to evaluate an organization's work environment. The primary goal is to assess compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and internal policies concerning health and safety in the workplace. It helps identify potential hazards, risks, and deficiencies in the work environment that could negatively impact employee well-being and productivity.

During an arbetsmiljörevision, various aspects of the work environment are examined. This can include physical factors such as noise levels, lighting, air quality, and ergonomics, as well as organizational factors like work organization, workload, psychosocial aspects, and management systems. The audit typically involves reviewing documentation, conducting site inspections, interviewing employees and managers, and analyzing accident and incident reports.

The findings from an arbetsmiljörevision are then compiled into a report, which outlines any non-conformities or areas for improvement. Based on these findings, an action plan is usually developed to address identified issues and implement necessary changes. The purpose is not punitive but rather to foster a continuous improvement cycle for the work environment, ensuring a safer and healthier workplace for all. Regular audits help organizations proactively manage risks and demonstrate their commitment to occupational health and safety.
