arbeidsmiljøplan

An arbeidsmiljøplan, often translated as a working environment plan or health and safety plan, is a mandatory document in Norway that outlines how a company will manage risks to employee health and safety. This plan is a legal requirement under the Norwegian Working Environment Act. It serves as a comprehensive strategy for identifying, assessing, and mitigating hazards in the workplace.

The arbeidsmiljøplan should detail the company's organization, responsibilities, and procedures for ensuring a safe and healthy work environment. Key components typically include risk assessments, measures to prevent accidents and ill health, procedures for handling emergencies, and provisions for employee training and information. It also addresses issues such as ergonomics, psychosocial factors, and physical working conditions. The plan needs to be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in the workplace, new risks, or legal requirements. Employees and their representatives should be involved in the development and implementation of the plan. The goal is to proactively create a safe, healthy, and positive working environment for all.
