The report concerns the public supervision of the psychosocial working environment in Denmark as provided by the Ministry of Employment and the Danish Working Environment Authority.

  • Has the Ministry of Employment followed up on the effectiveness of the framework set for supervision of the psychosocial working environment?
  • Has the Working Environment Authority defined objectives for the psychosocial working environment, and is the Working Environment Authority following up on the effect of the supervision? 
  • Do the methods and procedures employed by the Working Environment Authority allow identification of problems related to the psychosocial working environment in the companies? 

Rigsrevisionen initiated the study in May 2014.
