What's special about building and construction companies is that employees move from workplace to workplace. To reduce the risk of accidents, injuries, health problems and exclusion from employment in the industries, the state decided to create a scheme where safety representatives are mobile too, and can operate across companies within a geographical area. 
 
The regional safety representatives can visit all places of employment in the building and construction industry.
