Section 3-14. Several working environment committees in the same undertaking

In undertakings with several separate operational entities, the working environment committee may decide that local working environment committees shall be elected for each operational entity. The working environment committee for the whole undertaking shall stipulate the duties and authority of the local working environment committees. The provisions of the regulations on working environment committees shall otherwise apply.

The working environment committee may appoint sub-committees to consider specific problems (e.g. a rehabilitation committee, an ergonomics committee etc.). The sub-committees are advisory bodies to the working environment committee. The working environment committee may nonetheless decide that the individual sub-committees shall have a certain decision-making authority.
