Environment
Work Environment
To you as a student should have good opportunities to influence your own health and safety is a matter of course. This applies to the physical environment as well as the psychosocial work environment. Physical work environment can involve things such as ventilation, lighting, noise and hazardous equipment while the psychosocial work is about things like discrimination, stress, harassment and so on.
At the university there is an organization that works with students' work environment, which emerged at the initiative of LinTek and the other student unions at LiU. It goes briefly out that on each section there will be (at least) one working environment agent, whom you can turn to if you have any questions regarding your physical work environment. In addition to the working environment section representative, there are also students who work part time for the university as a key work on behalf of students, you are also welcome to contact.
