We are gathering forces for safer construction sites in Kronoberg County. No one should have to get sick from their work. Now we are examining how employers protect our members from dust and asbestos, says Morgan Nyberg, chairman of Byggnads Småland-Blekinge. The survey shows that the protection against harmful dust is lacking. This is unacceptable. Our members must have the right conditions to work safely. We cannot accept that dangerous exposure becomes a part of everyday life and that the shortcomings are left unaddressed. Employers must listen to the workers and safety representatives and ensure that it is safe to work, says Morgan Nyberg, chairman of Byggnads Småland-Blekinge. Dust and asbestos can cause diseases that show up only much later. Therefore, these workplace visits are so important. We must identify the shortcomings and get employers to act before harm is done, says Morgan Nyberg, chairman of Byggnads Småland-Blekinge. #byggbranschen #arbetsmiljö #damm (translated)

Now we are visiting construction sites around Kalmar County to examine protection against dust and asbestos. The risks are serious, and preventive measures must be effective in daily operations, says Morgan Nyberg, chairman of Byggnads Småland-Blekinge. The risks are well known, and there are methods to reduce exposure. Now employers must translate that knowledge into practice at every construction site, says Morgan Nyberg, chairman of Byggnads Småland-Blekinge. These are serious figures. Asbestos can cause fatal diseases long after exposure. Every incident must be taken seriously, documented, and followed up to ensure that more people are not exposed, says Morgan Nyberg, chairman of Byggnads Småland-Blekinge. During workplace visits, we look at how protection works in practice. Is there functioning extraction? Have workers received the right instructions? Have the risks associated with asbestos been investigated before work begins? These are factors that can determine whether people become ill, says Morgan Nyberg, chairman of Byggnads Småland-Blekinge. #byggbranschen #arbetsmiljö #asbest (translated)
