Your answers are valuable
Statistics Norway needs your answers to produce and publish statistics about working environment in Norway.
The results from the survey will be used to map the working conditions in Norway for different professions. Public authorities and working life organizations can use the results to plan and effectuate measures to improve the working environment. Participation in the survey is voluntary, but your answers will help us get better statistics about the working conditions in your profession.
In the survey we ask about:

- physical work conditions

- job security
- job satisfaction
- health and physical afflictions
It takes approximately 25 minutes if you work.
