Creating sustainable safety cultures
A good safety culture is about taking a proactive approach. It’s about promoting a user-centric view, where hazards – such as injuries, noise, environmental releases, and airborne particulates – are actively aborted, rather than retroactively fixed. This yields many benefits, such as
- increased employee safety and loyalty
- increased operational productivity
Also, a rich safety culture eliminates any risks of financial downturns. If incidents are avoided entirely, the client can avoid losing money on fines and compensation.

Construction work environment coordinator
We oversee all aspects that are included by the Work Environment Act – both prior to construction and during. As an engineering and consulting company, we constantly cooperate with other disciplines. Together with architects, constructors, and projects managers, we guarantee the safety of a building’s future use and maintenance.
BAS-P & BAS-U
At AFRY, we provide expertise for the planning as well as the execution of a project. During the planning stage (BAS-P), we coordinate between different parties, making sure that all legal and order requirements are fulfilled. Then, at the construction site (BAS-U), we evaluate all risks and implement safety devices, thereby guaranteeing the safety of workers.
Safety Manager
A good safety manager is vital. In collaboration with companies, they make sure the workplace complies with health and safety laws, they establish policies, they identify hazards, and they actively seek to improve conditions and execute safety programs. Because of them, the company can rest easy.
At AFRY, our safety managers are detail-oriented and communicative, and work efficiently to recommend appropriate safety and health measures to our clients.

Systematic work environment management
We help clients comply with systematic work environment management (AFS 2001:01) provisions. By setting up routines and instructions, we make work environments safer. Moreover, this includes delegating responsibilities across the client’s daily operations.
At AFRY, we perform all necessary activities:
- Examination of the operations
- Risk assessment
- Measures to reduce risks
- Work environment analysis, evaluating whether the measures have reduced the risks
Lean and a culture of continuous improvement
Using Lean methods, we efficiently map our clients safety needs. For example, by including the 5S Office Work Flow, we standardize and structure all safety measures. This also creates habits and methods that, as part of a proactive safety culture, contributes to continuous improvements. In the end, the well-being of employees will improve and productivity will increase.
EHSQ Management Systems
At AFRY, we implement and develop business management systems. Our teams may serve as internal auditors, and they can guarantee that clients comply with the regulations ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001.
Advisory services
Chemical safety
At AFRY, we advise our clients on how to properly handle chemicals, hazardous goods, and building residue. In addition, we offer insights on how businesses should set up daily routines, safety sheets, and protective measure in the workplace. By taking all necessary steps, and by producing the proper risk assessments, we ensure the safety of human health and the environment. This applies to risks posed by the natural presence of chemicals in the environment, as well as their extraction or synthesis, production, use, and disposal.
As with all of our safety offerings, we offer training in Chemical Safety for our clients. Creating a sustainable work environment requires a sustained effort – it requires training of staff and a continued investment in employee safety. At AFRY, we take care of it all.
