Why is an APV important?
An APV is a legally required assessment of the physical and psychological working environment in Denmark. It helps identify risks, prevent occupational injuries and support a safe, healthy workplace.
Businesses with employees must carry out an APV covering relevant working conditions. It must be updated when changes can affect the working environment, and all working conditions must be reviewed at least every three years.
An APV is also an opportunity to spot challenges early and take practical steps to improve employee safety and wellbeing.
