Elmontörernas syn på elsäkerhet : En studie om att öka elsäkerheten i Telge Nät AB

Sammanfattning: In today’s society, safety in a workplace is an important factor to any organization. Focus on improving the working conditions by making them safer through technology is taking us into a time where we rely on technology to keep us safe. How well developed the technology may be, it is still not enough to keep us entirely from harm. Human error will always be a factor in the human interaction with a workplace. This thesis is built upon existing theoretical perspectives and with empirical data collected by methods such as interviews and field observations, with the aim to shed light upon the view and attitude towards electrical safety in Telge Nät AB. My main target group is the electrical installers who develop and maintain the power distribution grid. With interventions in this targeted group I hope to start a wind of change in the organization and its view on electrical safety.This study hopes to answer questions about the electrical installers view on electrical safety and the view of the organization as a whole, this is later used to map needed measures to change and improve the safety in the organization. The result of this thesis point in the direction of the literature, where safety environment is improved by empowering the worker in the task at hand. Empowerment is a time consuming process in which the entire company needs to pull its weight, so it may be a reality and not just spoken words.
