The checklist consists of this general part which includes two sections: 1. Supervisor – questions about organization, routines, instructions, and knowledge training. 2. The workplace – issues relating to the design of the workplace, equipment, and safety at the workplace. There is also a separate industry-specific third part to supplement with. This checklist contains questions about production orientation, and you can choose between working with cattle, pigs, poultry, machinery, and tractors. Part 1 is intended to be used by the manager, supervisor, together with the safety representative, to assess the risk of the business on an organisational level. Feel free to supplement with Prevent's Psychosocial Work Environment survey. Part 2 is intended to be used as a basis for a risk assessment of the workplace. If you have office space, please supplement with Prevent's checklist office. Part 3 is intended to be used as a basis for risk assessment for a specific production line.
