One of the characteristics of businesses in the building and construction sector is that employees move from workplace to workplace. To reduce the risk of accidents, injuries, ill health, and exclusion from the labour market, the government, in cooperation with representative organisations for employers and employees,  decided to create a scheme where regional safety representatives (regionale verneombud – RVO) are mobile too and can operate across businesses within a geographical area.

The regional safety representatives can visit all places of employment in the building and construction industry.
