The checklist addresses questions about, for example, how premises and equipment are designed in the paint shop. It starts with a few general topics and then moves on to risks that can be present in a paint shop. For more targeted safety rounds, we refer to our in-depth subject checklists. When reviewing the systematic work environment management and matters relating to the organisational and social work environment, we refer to special checklists intended for this.
