Byggarbetsplatser med flera språk och kulturer representerade innebär utmaningar för kommunikationen kring arbetsmiljö och säkerhet. Under 2015 sände utländska arbetsgivare drygt 18 000 arbetstagare till Sverige för att utföra byggnadsarbeten. Med bakgrund i de närmaste årens mål för bostadsbyggande och den planerade utbyggnaden av infrastrukturen, spås ytterligare 60 000 byggnadsarbetare krävas varje år. För att möta de utmaningar som ökningen kan komma att innebära krävs studier om svenska byggarbetsplatser med utländsk arbetskraft. Denna studie är ur den svenska produktionsledningens perspektiv och syftar till att öka förutsättningarna att skapa en god arbetsmiljö för utstationerade arbetstagare på byggarbetsplatsen. Studien genomfördes i fyra delar med olika angreppssätt för att identifiera vilka utmaningar som uppstår med utländska underentreprenörer, och hur de kan hanteras. En omfattande litteraturstudie genomfördes och samtal med branschmänniskor fördes för att skapa en teoretisk grund. Fallföretagets ledningssystem utforskades som en sorts nulägesanalys för att skapa en utgångspunkt för diskussionen. Slutligen genomfördes intervjuer med åtta produktionsledande tjänstemän från fallföretaget. Förhoppningsvis kan rapporten bidra med mer kunskap kring tvärkulturell kommunikation på byggarbetsplatser och samordning av säkerhetsarbetet med utländska underentreprenörer. Diskussionen kretsar främst kring internationella inköp, språk och kommunikation, arbetsplatsintroduktioner samt daglig styrning. Tydligt avgränsade entreprenader och uppföljning av ställda krav verkar vara förutsättningar för ett fungerande arbete med utländska underentreprenörer. Utstationerade arbetstagare bör genomgå en gedigen arbetsplatsintroduktion och involveras fullt ut i daglig styrning för att skapa delaktighet och ansvarskänsla samt undanröja säkerhetsrisker. På sikt bör engelska nyttjas som arbetsspråk även i normalstora byggprojekt. / Building sites with multiple languages and cultures represented create challenges for the communication about work environment and safety. In 2015 foreign employers sent more than 18 000 workers to Sweden to carry out construction work. According to the next years' objectives for housing construction and the planned expansion of the infrastructure, it is predicted that an additional 60 000 construction workers are needed each year. To meet the challenges that the increase may imply, studies on Swedish building sites with foreign labor are needed. This study is from the Swedish production management’s perspective, and aims to increase the conditions to create a good work environment for posted workers on the building site. The study was carried out in four parts with different approaches to identify the challenges which arise with foreign subcontractors, and how they can be managed. A comprehensive literature study was conducted and discussions with industry people were carried out to create a theoretical basis. The studied company’s management system was explored as a sort of situation analysis to create a basis for discussion. Finally, interviews were conducted with eight production leading officials from the studied company. Hopefully, the report can contribute with more knowledge about cross-cultural communication at building sites and coordination of the safety work with foreign subcontractors. The discussion mainly revolves around the international procurement, language and communication, workplace introduction and daily management. Clearly defined contracts and monitoring requirements seem to be prerequisites for functioning work procedures with foreign subcontractors. Posted workers should pass through a thorough workplace introduction and be fully involved in the daily management to create participation and a sense of responsibility, and eliminating safety risks. Over time, English should be used as a working language even in normal-sized building projects.

This study reflects on the swedish model and the models future. The swedish model means that legisilation acts with the collective agreements . The wage issue is not regulated by law instead it is managed by the social partners in the form of collective agreements. In 2008, a report was presented by the Commission on a joint regulation of the minimum wage for all EU countries. The issue has become increasingly controversial and was especially disccused for the election of candidates to the European Parlament last spring. Such regulation as the comission proposed leads to a threat to the Swedish labour model. Therefore the aim of this study was to illuminate the Swedish model and to study alternative solutions to the model in an international perspective. A method with sociology of law perspective was chosen and considered suitable to answer the purpose of the study. This study indicates that the swedish model is a succesfull model but the model is facing several challenges. Due to the swedish membership in EU we have to considerate both national and international law and these are not allways compatible. The model embrace a high number of employees but there are some groups of people that are excluded. Thoose who are excluded are not organized in the union like post workers and young adult workers. It is abious that the model sustains limits and there fore a good complement could be collective agreements with erga omnes effect.
