HSE-inspections is a review of locales, equipment and working methods in order to map out any potential risks for disease and injury to staff, environment and materials, as well as a consideration of necessary implementations.  Issues related to fire safety and external environment (i.e. dangerous waste and emissions) should also be evaluated.  Examples of issues to be mapped out are defective and substandard furniture and equipment, noise pollution, lack of proper lighting, reduced air quality, heat, messy and unhygienic working conditions or blocked escape routes.

HSE-inspection rounds will be carried at K2:

December 2, 1300 – 1600 in the Laboratory Building

December 3, 0900 – 1100 at the Children’s clinic

December 8, 1000 – 1200 at the Women’s clinic

All research groups must review the checklist and report and follow-up any deviances. Week 46 is deadline for submission of form to Irene Hjelmaas

A psychosocial work environment mapping will take place in early 2015, led by the HSE-sections.
