Many Danes enjoy going to work. They are very devoted to their work and consider it essential that they thrive physically and mentally at work. Therefore, you will find many companies in Denmark that go to great lengths to create a good and safe working environment for their employees. This is not only a question of physical occupational safety and health. The tone at the workplace is also very important. To feel respected and valued for one's effort is a part of a good working environment.
Occupational safety and health requires cooperation
At a Danish workplace, problems and occupational safety and health are resolved by employees and management in cooperation. Even though it is the responsibility of the employer, employees know the most about specific issues and problems.
Of course, it is the employer's responsibility that occupational safety is in order, but you also have influence and responsibility as an employee. You must observe the occupational safety rules and contribute to ensuring that the work performed does not pose a danger to you, your colleagues or others in your proximity.
