At the beginning of your employment, we will ensure that you receive an intensive basic training course in working environment.

We have a total of six employees and a district manager at the district office in Nuuk. One of our colleagues lives in Sisimiut. You will report to the district manager.

We work for a healthy and dynamic labor market

The Working Environment Authority is the Greenlandic and Danish authority in the field of working environment. 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. It 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 and discussed in a forum of highly qualified colleagues.
