Section last changed: 01 January 2011

The provision supplements Section 2-2, first subsection of the Working Environment Act.
Enterprise as mentioned in this section, means the same as in the Working Environment Act, which means that the term is almost synonymous with company.
Ensure as mentioned in the second subsection, literas b and c, means that the principal undertaking has a coordination responsibility for the mentioned circumstances. This is a continuation of current law under the Working Environment Act. The duty to ensure in litera d entails e.g. that offences as mentioned in litera d shall be pointed out and corrected if the principle undertaking is aware of them. The duty can be fulfilled through inspections at the workplace.
