In modern Swedish industry it has been increasingly possible to reduce the dangers to health from such traditional work environmental factors as heavy lifting, loud noise, and hazardous chemicals. There has, instead, been a relative increase in the significant effects of work organization on the occurrence of injury and illness. Changes in work organization must be carried out on the basis of detailed knowledge of the work process, the tools and the product. Changes in work organization must also take into account how the personnel involved experience the way in which their needs are respected and satisfied at work. In Sweden, the work safety committees composed of representatives of all parties involved have the task not only of leading safety work, but also of channelling the needs of individual workers to influence work organization in so far as this can be of significance for their well-being and health. Company health care can analyse the common experience of a group of workers concerning their work situation in this broader context. A working method will be presented.
