Work environment
Work environment
Work environment is often divided into physical and psychosocial work environment. Physical work environment refers to the work rooms and the climate we live in during our study time. This may be the amount of student workplaces, the heat in the rooms and the climate in the work rooms or abnormalities that cause the risk of direct or indirect physical damage. Psychosocial work environment is not easy to reach but affects our well-being at as much as physical work environment problems. Psychosocial includes equality and equal treatment, group dynamics or factors that cause stress or anxiety.
​
The Swedish Work Environment Authority is the authority that regulates the work environment in Swedish workplaces and in the work environment law students are equated with workers on almost every point. This means that students have a great amount of rights and it’s the university's duty to fulfill the requirements that exist in this law.
​
Konstkåren continuously works with the physical and the psychosocial work environment for students at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts . This work is being done through representing the students in equal treatment groups and work environment groups, at both the faculty and at the institutions, and through collaboration with other student unions in Gothenburg and nationally.
