Description	The list is based on the following regulations
Use the checklist to examine the workplace's preparedness for crisis situations. The checklist contains questions about how the work with crisis management is organised, about important procedures and documents, and about information and knowledge within the organisation. Read more about the different parts of crisis management here httpswww.prevent.sekris. In the checklist, we use the terms crisis group (also referred to as emergency group or crisis management) and crisis plan (also referred to as crisis management plan or contingency plan). Questions related to first aid can be found in the separate checklist First Aid. The checklist is based on parts of the following Laws and Regulations (AFS) 20231 systematic work environment work (wem), 20232 chapter 4 first aid and crisis support and chapter 202312 6 design of workplaces.
