Through continuous dialogue with your employees, you as an employer can identify risks of injuries and illnesses before they occur. As an employer, you have a responsibility to ensure that such a dialogue is carried out. In cases where work adaptation is required, you should investigate and implement this. You should then, in consultation with the employee, monitor that it is working and adjust the work adaptation if necessary.

Support for your work to prevent injuries and illnesses

Both employers and employees may need support with work adaptation and, if an organisation does not have sufficient in-house knowledge, it should hire an external expert.

In addition to the information available on our website on how to work on the work environment, there is also other help available to employers. There are tools for dialogue, support and financial contributions to prevent sick leave or facilitate the return to work.

The workplace dialogue - a tool for discussion

The knowledge organisation Prevent has developed dialogue support that helps managers and employees detect early signs of ill health, hold structured conversations and adapt work.

Occupational health service

The primary task of the occupational health service is to remove or reduce risks in the work environment. If you as an employer do not have sufficient time or knowledge to reduce risks in the workplace, an occupational health service can be hired. The help then becomes a complement to your own work environment management.

Försäkringskassan, the Social Insurance Agency

As an employer, you can also receive grants to prevent sick leave or make it easier for your employees to return to work after sick leave.
