Work descriptions

Definition

Concepts that describe conditions at a workplace or the nature of a job, usually in terms of working environment.

Description

The work descriptions are managed by Arbetsförmedlingen. The descriptions consist of concepts that are categorized under a number of classifications.

The concepts are intended to be used, among other things, to describe workplaces or as a complement to a occupation-name concept, for example when describing a previous employment in a CV.

To the greatest extent possible, the concepts follow language that has already been defined by trusted sources, for example through legislative texts (see employment type) or by Arbetsmiljöverket (Swedish Work Environment Authority) (see workplace environment).
