What is working environment?

A safe and healthy working environment is characterized by everyone being able to thrive and develop with the support of the community. A sustainable working environment that considers different life and work conditions and respects diversity is important for employee and organizational development, and not least for the development of the work community.

Areas of the Working Environment

The working environment can be divided into three main areas: physical, chemical-biological and organizational-social working environment.

The physical working environment encompasses the design of work spaces and workstations, as well as working conditions such as ergonomics, noise, lighting, and accident risks.

The chemical-biological working environment is a special part of the physical working environment, focusing on exposure to chemical or biological substances and materials that may pose a health risk during work.

The organizational-social working environment covers aspects such as perceived workload, employee involvement, collegial relationships, and the overall experience of the work community, which are important for employees' security, motivation, and well-being.

Despite these divisions, the working environment should be viewed holistically, reflecting our efforts for a good working environment.
