Working Environment Act § 6-2

Safety representatives in the mapping: you see the same figures as management

As a safety representative you shall be consulted when the organisation maps the working environment and puts measures in place. For that you need access to the same basis as management – not a summary afterwards.

Screenshot of the heatmap (Norwegian interface): the eleven factors against the departments, with speaking up in the Workshop at 28 as the lowest cell. Two departments are shown as a dash, under the threshold of five answers.

What you are entitled to

Section 6-2 of the Working Environment Act says the safety representative shall see to it that the employees' psychosocial working environment is safeguarded, and shall be consulted during the planning and implementation of measures that matter for the working environment. Section 1A-2 of the regulation on the performance of work also requires the mapping and risk assessment to be done together with the employees and their representatives.

What you get in Orgpuls

The same figures as managementYou see the result for the whole organisation, as the managing director sees it – not a presentation afterwards.
Measures with an owner and a deadlineYou see which measures are set, who owns them, and when they are due.
Anonymity you can vouch forNo group is shown until at least five have answered. The limit cannot be lowered – not even by an administrator.
At no costThe safety representative has access at no extra cost to the organisation.

When you want to raise it with management

Many safety representatives know the mapping should be done, but not how to raise it. The «Tip your manager» button at the top of this page opens a ready e-mail in your own mail program. You can change it before you send it, and we never see it.

When a department is not shown

When a small department is not shown, nothing is being hidden from you. The figure is not calculated for anyone. The answers still count in the whole, so no voice is lost. Read more about what anonymous means in an employee survey.

Questions we get often
The main rule in section 6-1 of the Working Environment Act is yes: a safety representative shall be elected in every organisation. Only organisations with fewer than five employees may agree in writing on another arrangement.
