Improving Construction Site Safety and Fairness

The City Audit Office has reviewed how Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB works to counteract work-related crime in construction projects. The review shows that the company is partly successful in preventing and detecting this type of crime, but recommends that follow-up and checks of labor law contractual conditions need to become more systematic and risk-based. The company agrees with this need and has planned measures to strengthen its work, including investigating participation in "Fair Construction" and improving documentation of subcontractors, as well as training project managers on how to counteract work-related crime.
