  Summary and action plan

When setting up a business, it is recommended that you incorporate ideas about the working environment right from the start. Reflect upon the layout of your place of business to ensure that the physical framework is in order. You should also consider how you – as the manager - can ensure a good psychological working environment.

Workplace assessment

The Danish WEA supervises the working environment at Danish workplaces. Part of this supervision is checking that the enterprises prepare the compulsory WA.

If your place of business has employees it is compulsory to prepare a written workplace assessment (WPA) together with your employees.

If accidents occur

If there is an occupational accident at your place of business, injuring one of your employees who must then stay away from work as a minimum for one day other than the day of the accident, the accident must be reported to the Danish WEA.

As the employer you are obligated to report accidents to the Danish WEA as quickly as possible and no later than nine days after the first day your employees do not show up for work as a consequence of the occupational accident.
