Guidelines

Guidelines for the working environment when work is performed by service providers have been developed to clarify the joint responsibility and ensure a clear division of responsibility between university units and service providers in relation to identifying, managing, and preventing working environment risks before and during performance of the service providers’ services.

The purpose of the guidelines is to promote a good working environment, high level of safety and strengthened cooperation for everyone in connection with the work of internal and external service providers at DTU.
The guidelines are intended to be supplemented by auxiliary tools in the form of guides and instructions.

The guidelines cover the work of service providers throughout DTU. Service providers are tradesmen, technicians, cleaners, window cleaners, gardeners, snow clearers, consultants, etc.

The guidelines cover services provided by internal service providers, e.g. employees from CAS (Campus Service) and IT Services (AIT), as well as external service providers requested by the university units (centres, departments, and support functions e.g. CAS, AIT, AHR, etc.). The guidelines also cover subcontractors to external service providers.

The guidelines apply to suppliers, requesters, and recipients of services.

The guidelines cover all types of services, except those that are part of a construction project where a health and safety plan (PSS) has been prepared.

Everyone is obligated to observe the current legislation, including health and safety legislation, building regulations, and DTU’s sub-policies and guidelines.
