Arbetsmiljööverlämning

Arbetsmiljööverlämning, meaning occupational environment handover, is a crucial process in ensuring the continuity of a safe and healthy work environment. It occurs when responsibilities for occupational health and safety are transferred from one party to another. This typically happens during changes in employment, the completion of a project, or the transfer of ownership of a business.

The purpose of an arbetsmiljööverlämning is to effectively communicate all relevant information regarding the existing risks, preventive measures, ongoing initiatives, and legal requirements related to the occupational environment. This ensures that the receiving party is fully aware of their obligations and can maintain or improve the established safety standards.

Key elements of a thorough arbetsmiljööverlämning often include documentation of hazard assessments, safety procedures, training records, incident reports, and any existing agreements or permits related to the work environment. It also involves a dialogue where questions can be asked and clarified.

This process is vital for preventing new risks from emerging due to a lack of knowledge and for ensuring that established protective measures remain in place and are effectively managed. It is a fundamental aspect of responsible management and a legal requirement in many jurisdictions to safeguard the well-being of employees.
