The Working Environment Authority is the Greenlandic and Danish authority in the field of occupational health and safety. Our goal is to promote a healthy, safe, and developing working environment in workplaces. We supervise that workplaces practically create the good conditions for their employees that are necessary to avoid people being worn down, getting injured, or experiencing stress. This is a benefit for both employees, the workplace, and society. Close dialogue and contact with workplaces are therefore a prerequisite for us to succeed in our goals.

Our preventive and advisory work is always based on the latest evidence-based knowledge in the field – critically reflected upon and discussed in a forum of highly qualified professional colleagues.
