Create safe and sustainable workplaces

The work environment in healthcare and social services differs from many other industries. Here, it is not just a matter of physical risks, but also, to a large extent, of psychosocial factors, infection risks, and ethical dilemmas. Our training specifically addresses areas such as:

Ergonomics and patient handling: How to work smartly and safely to avoid injuries when lifting and moving patients/clients.
Infection risks and hygiene routines: The importance of proper hygiene routines, use of protective equipment, and handling of infectious materials to protect both staff and patients.
Violence and threats in the workplace: Strategies for preventing and managing threatening situations, as well as the importance of follow-up care and support.
Psychosocial work environment: Managing stress, ethical stress, workload, and conflicts in a demanding workday.
Chemical hazards: Safe handling of medications, cleaning products, and other chemicals.
Systematic Work Environment Management (SAM): Adapted to the specific conditions of healthcare, with a focus on identifying, assessing, and addressing risks on an ongoing basis.

Gustaf Cid Pérez

Head of Training & Certified Chemical Engineer

I founded Kunskapskontoret in 2012 because I saw a need for high-quality industry courses – at reasonable prices.

After 15 years as a chemical engineer, I realized how crucial it is to train employees in the work environment. I saw the connection between knowledge, awareness, and reduced accidents.

That is what drives me today: to help employers create safer, more productive, and happier workplaces.
