About the Defense Inspectorate for Health and Environment

The Defense Inspectorate for Health and Environment conducts supervision within the Armed Forces, the Fortifications Agency, the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration, and the Swedish Defence Radio Agency. We are responsible for supervision over environmental and health protection, healthcare, infection control, as well as public control of food, animal by-products, feed, and animal welfare within the Armed Forces. When the Defense Inspectorate for Health and Environment exercises supervision and control, the inspector is not subordinate to the Supreme Commander.

The environmental protection section currently consists of nine people with experience in supervision according to the Environmental Code from various authorities. The section is characterized by a strong team spirit and great commitment. We place great emphasis on consensus and that everyone should want to contribute to the whole.

Main Responsibilities

The work includes, among other things, the assessment and supervision of environmentally and health hazardous activities. Main responsibilities include handling incoming notifications of environmentally hazardous activities. This includes reviewing documentation, preparing the case otherwise, and writing proposals for decisions.

The tasks also include independently planning and conducting supervision visits at defense sector facilities and activities, such as workshops, vehicle washes, shooting ranges, airports, sewage treatment plants, and living environments for conscripts. Since supervision is conducted throughout Sweden, travel is included in the job. Travel abroad may also occur.
