Cooperation plans

The occupational health service, prepares cooperation plans with the faculty, the Science Museum and units in the Joint Administration. The collaboration plans describe activities that must be carried out within an agreed time period, and provide an overview of measures that the occupational health service and Section for HSE and emergency preparedness must assist with (e.g. risk assessment, mapping, targeted health examinations, sick leave follow-up, etc.). The collaboration plan is continuously revised when a need for changed/additional assistance is identified. Follow-up at individual level takes place continuously as needed.
