At the Swedish Work Environment Authority, we work together to ensure that no one becomes ill, is injured, or dies due to work. Therefore, we check that regulations are followed and coordinate efforts against fraud, violations, and crime in the workplace. Based on the Work Environment Act, we develop regulations, inspect workplaces, and disseminate knowledge about work environment issues. The mission is serious, but our everyday life is characterized by joy at work, and we are caring and helpful colleagues. Do you want to use your commitment, courage, and expertise to make a difference in our life-critical issues? Then we are curious to learn more about you.

Your new job

As a work environment inspector within joint authority control, you will inspect the work environment at various workplaces.

In some cases, you will perform work from our centers against labor market crime (AKC) in police premises.

The main task is to plan, conduct, and follow up inspections at workplaces. You will set requirements based on work environment and working hours legislation along with associated regulations and provide feedback to employers on deficiencies identified during inspections. The role involves exercising authority. Among other things, you will handle sanctions, issue immediate prohibitions, and prepare cases for decisions. In a large part of the cases, you will make your own decisions based on delegation. Documentation such as service notes, inspection reports, grounds for sanctions, and other decisions are included in the role. The focus of inspections varies over time based on risk analyses and priorities. The state value base permeates your work.
