Inspection notice

If the work environment inspector has observed any deficiencies in the work environment, these will be described in writing, in an inspection notice, drawn up as a rule within three weeks of the visit. In this notice the employer is called upon to give the Work Environment Authority an account, by a certain date, of way in which the work environment deficiencies described are to be dealt with, and of the way in which the stipulations have been complied with.

The inspection notice is not a formal (binding) decision but is to be seen as a call to the employer to take the measures which the Work Environment Authority stipulates on the basis of work environment legislation. For this reason the inspection notice cannot be appealed.
