The rules of responsibility regarding the working enviroment during the production in the construction industy makes it hard to demand responsibility when accidents occur even when there are flaws in the working enviroment. Flaws in the working enviroment is a big problem on construction sites and there are alot of accidents but at the same time only a few lead to conviction. The way cnstruction sites are managed are often complicated with several employers. Long chains of entrepreneurs with one client on top is common, and it’s hard to create a good working enviroment för the employees in the long chains and the question of who is in charge gets lost. This study attends to four main questions: • How are the health and safety responsibilities distributed among the people involved during the production? • What are their responsibilities? • Are there any grey zones that make the health and safety responsibilities hard to work with in the industry? • How can awareness rise among the parties about their health and safety responsibilities? The purpose of the study is to identify flaws in the laws and orders of helath and saftey responsibilites that concern each party and come up with suggestions to improve it. The study inclueds a literature study and a qualitative case study by Tornstadens project Volvo Bil. A statistic research of cases in health and safety breaches was done as a part of the literature study and interviews with different parties and a visit to the construction site was a part of the case study. The conclusion is that health and safety responsibilities is not something that is distributed among the parties involved in the production, the responsibilities for each party is explained in the law of health and safety and no ones responsibilities can extenuate someone else’s. All parties are aware of their responsibilities. The client has an extended responsibility over the working environment that is special for this industry and has to make sure that health and safety is always taken in consideration. BAS-U is responsible for coordinating everyone making sure no one is a risk but his responsibilities does not extenuate the ones of the employers responsibility to prevent every risk of an employee of getting hurt of sick. Also everyone on site must contribute and participate in working towards a good working environment. (Less)
