Chief safety representative

There are currently seven protection areas (skyddsområden), which are mainly located on the campus areas at Uppsala University. Each protection area is led by a chief safety representative (huvudskyddsombud or HSO).

The task of the chief safety representative is to coordinate the activities of the safety representatives by

• Acting as a resource for the employer in matters relating to changes in the working environment
• Participating in meetings with the staff organisations
• Participating in chief safety representative meetings
• Exercising the right to attend and express opinions at meetings with the head of departments council (Swedish: prefektrådet) or the campus management council (Swedish: intendenturstyrelsen)
• Convening and conducting meetings with the safety representatives within their own protection area
• Being available by telephone and email for urgent questions and issues
• Informing and arranging training for safety representatives within their own protection area
• Working to ensure that safety representatives are present at all departments within their own protection area
• Informing the employer about the role of the safety representative and assist in the recruitment of safety representatives
• Undertake further training and staying well informed on relevant work environment issues
• Collaborate with other chief safety representatives and the employer across protection area boundaries in difficult work environment issues
• Contributing to finding solutions to individual work environment issues
