Under Swedish work environment legislation, the employer bears the overall responsibility for the work environment. However, several other actors within the organization have defined roles with specific duties and expectations. Effective cooperation between the employer and employees is a prerequisite for achieving a safe and healthy work environment. One of the fundamental principles of the Work Environment Act (1977:1160) is therefore that work environment management shall be based on cooperation.
