Questions and answers about RUT

You can complain about your working environment

Anyone can complain to Arbejdstilsynet, the Danish Working Environment Authority, if they suspect that a company may be violating the work environment rules – this includes cases when you or your colleagues are being subjected to a poor work environment. This applies to both the physical and psychosocial work environment. 

You can submit your complaint anonymously, and be treated anonymously in connection with any inspections and case processing. 

If you use the digital complaint form, you can attach images and videos and consent for the Danish Working Environment Authority to waive their duty of confidentiality in relation to your complaint. This allows the authority to use the materials you submit in their case processing.

Submitting a complaint about poor work environment conditions will not automatically trigger an inspection as this will depend on the concrete assessment of each case. You will not receive any further information about whether or not your complaint will lead to an inspection visit.
