  abstract     = {{This thesis examines the allocation of occupational health and safety responsibility in temporary agency work arrangements and how such responsibility is divided between the temporary work agency and the user undertaking. The purpose is to analyse the legal framework governing this allocation of responsibility and to identify legal and practical challenges arising when occupational health and safety duties are shared between multiple actors. The central research questions concern how responsibility is distributed under current law and which interpretative difficulties the existing framework gives rise to. The study is conducted using a legal dogmatic method through an analysis of the Swedish Work Environment Act, relevant regulations, preparatory works and legal doctrine.
The analysis demonstrates that occupational health and safety responsibility in temporary agency work is parallel but functionally divided. The temporary work agency bears the primary employer responsibility under Chapter 3, Section 2 of the Work Environment Act, while the user undertaking has an independent protective responsibility under Chapter 3, Section 12, based on actual control over the workplace. Although the system is consistent with the protective purpose of the legislation, the functional division of responsibility creates challenges regarding delimitation and mutual information exchange. The thesis shows that the allocation of occupational health and safety responsibilities in temporary agency work arrangements is largely influenced by the exchange of information between the parties and by how the criterion of control is assessed when authority over the work environment is shared.}},
