This is carried out through the development of research-based knowledge on the mechanisms in the enterprises that transform policy instruments into occupational health, safety and, thus, a better working environment.
The project will overcome the current knowledge gap about the relationships between policies at societal level and work in practice in public and private organizations. This is achieved through qualitative business case studies of the transformation of policies into practice.
A special interest is taken in the mechanisms which facilitate a strong effect of the working
environment efforts. The project group undertakes specific studies on the organization of
the working environment, certified health and safety management systems and working
environment efforts in small businesses.
These studies will for the first time help to create an overall understanding on how social
policy instruments related to the working environment efforts work. The results provide
decision-makers, other actors in the working environment area and in businesses with a more
qualified basis for developing effective working environment policies and efforts.
CAVI is carried out in collaboration between the Center for Industrial Production at Aalborg
University, the Department of Management Engineering at the Technical University of
Denmark, the Center for Working Life Research at Roskilde University, the Department of
Education at Aarhus University and Team Working Life in Copenhagen.
