Plan Organisation, roles and responsibility relating to the work environment

The role of the employee
The Swedish Work Environment Act states that: “The employee must participate in work relating to the work environment and take part in the implementation of the measures needed to create a good work environment. The employee must comply with directions issued, use the safety equipment and exercise the caution otherwise needed to prevent illness and accidents”.
Cooperation
Employers and employees shall cooperate in order to provide a good work environment. The organisation of such cooperation is governed by KI’s local work environment agreement. The employees elect safety representatives via the local employee organisation (trade unions).
The role of the manager
One of the most important tasks assigned to a manager is to ensure that all employees have the expertise required to perform their job and achieve development at work, but also the expertise to prevent the risk of illness and accidents at work.
Supervisors and colleagues shall have the expertise, resources and authorisation required to assume their responsibility for ensuring performance of tasks. The role of manager also comprises a duty to cooperate with colleagues pursuant to the Swedish Work Environment Act.

Managers and leaders are delegated work environment tasks by the Head of Depar Job-Specific Responsibilities

Each employee in a company, whether hourly or salaried, at an entry-level position or in upper management, operates daily based on a specific job description for their position. It is the employee's responsibility to perform the duties of that position to the best of their ability while adhering to company policies and protocols. They should come to work when expected, manage their time well and seek to be a positive part of the corporate team. Workers should address management with any questions or problems they encounter and work for the good of the company.

Personal Performance Accountability

Another general responsibility for all employees is owning up to mistakes and being held accountable for your actions. Rather than putting the blame on a co-worker or making excuses, employees who accept responsibility for their mistakes or poor judgement become positive assets to the organization. Managers may need to have some difficult conversations with employees in order to establish this expectation, but ultimately, accountability as an office standard will create a positive and productive work environment.
