The Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority Hamar is part of the national supervisory authority tasked with ensuring a safe and responsible working environment in Norway. The office offers guidance and supervision to promote a serious and inclusive working life. This includes information about employment contracts, working hours and dismissal, as well as help with health, safety and environment (HSE).
An important part of the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority's work is to carry out risk assessments to identify and prevent potential hazards in the working environment. They also provide information about requirements for safety representatives and offer opportunities for reporting objectionable working conditions. In addition, they have digital resources such as podcasts and reports available to support employers and employees in their responsibility for a good working life.
The Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority's social mission is set by the Storting, and they have an independent role in following up on businesses' compliance with working environment legislation and other relevant regulations. This work is essential to ensure that workplaces in the region meet the necessary health and safety requirements.
