With a background from the Swedish Work Environment Authority and experience from both client organizations and the contracting industry, I share my insights and lessons learned about work environment work in the construction sector. I highlight the challenges that exist in coordinating strategic efforts to create safe and sustainable work environments, regardless of whether it is small businesses or larger construction projects. By combining workplace planning in the early stages with practical solutions, I give my perspectives and concrete ideas for how work environment work can develop. I like to highlight the importance of cooperation between different actors and how participation and responsibility at all levels contribute to success and a common sense of belonging.
