About the website
Read about the content of Work Environment in Denmark - the English website of the Danish Working Environment Authority (Arbejdstilsynet).
The Danish Working Environment Authority (WEA) works for a safe and healthy working environment in all companies in Denmark. This involves drawing up rules on safety and health at work, inspecting companies and communicating safety and health information.
At this website you will find Danish legislation on occupational safety and health (OSH), i.e. the most central Acts, Executive Orders and WEA Guidelines.
You will also find information about the Danish Working Environment Authority’s inspection of enterprises and some of the most central self-service solutions in the area. In addition you will find a list of publications in English.
For information targeting foreign companies and guidance about health and safety in the construction industry, we refer you to Workplacedenmark.dk.
