<p>Säkerhetsarbete bedrivs på alla nivåer i samhället från individnivå till regeringsnivå. Bakgrunden till studien är den problematik som finns i och med skadeutvecklingen i samhället som visar på en ökad trend av personskador i boendemiljön. Studien syftar till att ge en samlad bild av centrala myndigheters säkerhetsarbete med personskador i boendemiljön. Målet med detta är att utifrån den samlade bilden av myndigheters säkerhetsarbete i boendet ta reda på om det finns strukturer inom boendemiljön där flera myndigheter riktar sitt arbete respektive områden som faller mellan stolarna.</p><p>Metodformen som används i studien är en riktad innehållsanalys av dokument. Ett urval av följande myndigheter har studerats; Boverket, Konsumentverket, Socialstyrelsen samt Statens räddningsverk. Resultaten av analysen visar på att myndighetsarbetet är komplext och svårnavigerat. Den bild som återfås när man studerar myndigheterna utifrån är till synes abstrakt. Säkerhetsarbetet i boendemiljön betraktas inte som ett system utan hanteras utifrån enstaka problemområden. Olika faktorers inbördes förhållanden blir inte belysta fullt ut vilket kan medföra att vissa riskområden uppmärksammas av flera myndigheter medan andra faller mellan stolarna. Vidare finner studien att konventionella stuprörsstrukturer inte kan tillämpas i boendemiljön om målet är ett effektivt säkerhetsarbete.</p><p> </p><p>Olycksutvecklingen är till stor del ett socialpolitiskt problem Eftersom det är den politiska styrningen som påverkar arbetsinriktningen hos myndigheten är det i första hand där det krävs en förändrad hållning till säkerheten i boendemiljön. Det behövs en politisk förankring i form av tydligt definierade mål.</p>

<p>Train travel has increased in Sweden, and future increase of train transports putdemands on the already vastly exploited railroad net. The increased need of capacitycan be seen in the ongoing and planned expansions of the railway track. One part ofthe railroad infrastructure which is affected by an increase of travellers is the design ofthe station platform. Since the platform is the place where the traveller meets thetrain, dangerous situations can occur in this environment. A number of studies focuson single safety risks, albeit there is no research to show the full picture of safety inthe platform environment.This study aims to treat and put together a compilation of risks for the traveller in theplatform environment in the form of a checklist, which can be used as support inplanning and design of a safer platform environment for existing or planned platforms.The thesis has, through case studies of five ongoing projects within the NationalRailroad Administration (Banverket), interviews with train company personnel andinternational railroad administrators, identified and treated safety (and security) risksin the platform environment.The conclusion of the study is that the relations between the traveller, the physicalplatform environment and the project organisation are important to explore andexploit when designing effective safety measures. The identified risks are presented inthe checklist along with counter measures and a guideline for the reader to supporttools in avoiding and preventing safety problems in the platform environment.</p>

Can you ensure that your smoke detector will sense fire and sound the alarm in the middle of the night? In 80 percent of the cases where emergency pulls out, smoke detectors are missing where the fire occurred. In the year of 2009, 118 people in Sweden died in fires – most of them would have survived if there had been a functioning smoke detector. Earlier development of smoke detectors has mainly been focusing on components that sense smoke and alert in case of fire. But in most cases the problem has not been whether the smoke detector was working or not as fully assembled, but rather that it was missing. The smoke detector has in these cases unfortunately been removed because of unwanted alarms in connection with e.g. cooking and therefore been disassembled and forgotten about. Another major problem is the lack of power supply to the smoke detector i.e. the batteries run out and have not been replaced by new ones. Therefore, the project team has put the focus in the users when developing a new smoke detector, Safire, in order to eliminate the causes of having a non-functioning smoke detector at home. Safire is a unique solution that combines high security with simple using. Additionally it has a pleasant design that favors overall impression and enhances safety. / Kan du garantera att din brandvarnare larmar om det börjar brinna inatt? I 80 procent av de fall där räddningstjänsten rycker ut saknas det brandvarnare i bostaden där branden uppstått. År 2009 omkom 118 personer i Sverige i bränder – merparten av dem hade överlevt om det hade funnits en fungerande brandvarnare. Tidigare utveckling av brandvarnare har främst inriktats på att förbättra de komponenter som känner av rök och larmar vid brand. Men i de flesta fall har inte problemet legat i huruvida brandvarnaren fungerat eller inte som färdigmonterad, utan snarare att den inte funnits på plats alls. Brandvarnaren har i dessa fall tyvärr övergått till att bli ett irritationsobjekt då den exempelvis har reagerat på oset vid matlagning, tjutit och monterats ned, för att sedan falla bort i glömskan. Ett annat stort problem är att det saknas strömförsörjning till brandvarnaren; batterierna tar slut och man glömmer att sätta i nya. Därför har projektgruppen arbetat med användaren i fokus vid utvecklingen av en ny brandvarnare, Safire, för att eliminera orsakerna till att man har en icke fungerande brandvarnare i bostaden. Safire är en unik lösning som kombinerar hög säkerhet med enkelt användande. Dessutom har den en snygg design som gynnar helhetsintrycket och förstärker säkerheten.

Work Environment problems on construction work sites are very extensive and discussed. The construction industry is one of the most dangerous industries in Sweden. The construction industry occupies about 290 000 employment (2009), and the investment was 250 billion SEK. This report will investigate the issues of the work environment and offer advice on how these can be measured and imporved. The study includes review and analyses of occupational injury statistics, interviews, inspections and audit and review of the literature. It is also includes review of work responsibilities and what the participant have the responsibilities and functions in the work environment. The results show that the construction work sites are one of the most dangerous workplaces. The statistics do not reflect reality and important factors are excluded. Work from height and managing in connection with tools are the most dangerous type of work. Work responsibilities are clear: the employer has the main responsibility for the work environment. The Work Environment act is the basis for the regulations that Swedish work environment authority gives out. Breaking the law or regualtion may not lead to seriously consequences, because it's a long process before punishment can be divided. The issues in work environment are more extensive in small companies and human error is much due to accidents. To edge the law and give the inspectors more eligibility than they now have to improve a better working environment and safer construction sites
