like:
craftsmanship
age

employer additionally calls on recognized external assistance. We know these companies under
the group name ARBO-diensten. It is no longer necessary to be affiliated with an occupational
health and safety service. The employer may also engage individual safety experts or
occupational hygienists.

Another body that can assist the employer in creating safer working conditions is the inspection
services for work equipment.
