Workplace risk assessment (APV)

A mandatory assessment of the working environment that every Danish employer with staff must carry out at least every 3 years, and whenever work changes significantly. It consists of four steps: mapping the working environment, assessing the problems, a written action plan and follow-up. The requirement comes from section 15a of the Danish Working Environment Act, and the Working Environment Authority can ask to see it during inspections. The method is up to you, but the result must be in writing and available to employees.
