Working together

We want everyone who works at or with Microsoft to be safe and healthy. That’s why we ask employees to be aware of any risks presented by the tasks they perform at Microsoft. This way, employees can plan how to do their work safely and avoid any potential hazards. This applies to all people who work at our sites, including those directly employed by Microsoft and any contract or temporary workers employed by a third party. We thank everyone for their cooperation.

Regulations

Microsoft Sweden follows Swedish legislation and regulations related to work environments, including but not limited to:

Safety committee

The Safety Committee is a group of employee volunteers who work to improve health and safety in our workplace, creating a balance between our work and our work environment. The primary functions are:

Champion safety procedures and support safety communications to employees.
Ensure measures proposed to prevent work-related accidents and illnesses are implemented within the organization.

The Safety Committee is typically composed of managers and employees. Team members interested in joining the committee can contact Global OHS for more information.

Local reporting requirements

To foster a culture of health and safety at Microsoft, employees, interns, and external staff are required to report all work-related accidents, injuries, and illnesses via SafetyHub Report. Learn more on the Global OHS reporting page.

Additionally, Microsoft reports serious near misses and accidents to Arbetsmiljöverket and job-related illnesses to Försäkringskassan.

Ergonomics

We want all employees to be comfortable, healthy, and productive at work and in their lives. Microsoft provides an interactive ergonomics self-assessment tool so all employees worldwide can learn how to improve their workstation setup and work habits in the office, at home, or on the go. Learn more on the Global OHS ergonomics page.
