Working Environment

Ergonomics

Ergonomics is about adapting the work environment and work techniques to people. When planning and carrying out the work, emphasis should be placed on preventing musculoskeletal disorders, and the individual conditions of the workers must be considered. The regulations of the Working Environment Act regarding the ergonomic work environment are intended to prevent workers from being exposed to adverse strains and injuries.

Psychosocial and organizational working environment

The Working Environment Act's provision on the psychosocial working environment is intended to prevent employees from being exposed to various negative conditions of a psychosocial nature, and that the sum of various stresses must not be too great. As with all other conditions, the law requires that the psychosocial working environment must be fully defensible.

Organizational work environment is about how work is organized and facilitated, and how the workplace is designed and furnished, for the work that the unit performs.
