On December 1, 23-year-old Laban "Jolyne" Lindeberg-Lindvet took her own life after a meeting with a manager.

The next day, December 2, a woman cleaning a sawmill was hit by a snowplow.

For the latter accident, Samhall is being investigated for work environment crimes.

Statliga Samhall will provide meaningful and developing jobs for the weakest in society - people with disabilities that lead to reduced work capacity.

But for several years, the criticism of the company has been scathing, of how to treat staff - and recruit.

In the autumn, SVT was able to report that the National Audit Office is preparing an audit, which according to new information to SVT may begin in March.

Common with accidents

Last year, Arbetet and Fastighetsfolket drew attention to the fact that occupational accidents at Samhall are almost twice as common as in the labor market as a whole.

Since 2017, the number of occupational injuries at Samhall has decreased.

But those figures are based on the cases granted by the Swedish Social Insurance Agency and the regional safety representative Richard Fredriksson believes that there is a large number of unreported cases.

- Sickness rates are usually 2-3 percent, but here you have sickness rates of 15-20 percent and call it Samhall-normal.

There is nothing that is normal at all with such high sickness rates.

If they had used the 6.6 billion that Samhall receives in grants from the state for the adjustments that they, among other things, will go to - they would not have had these sick numbers.

In principle, they should not have any occupational diseases at all because the jobs must be adapted and protected, but now they are far above normal.

Deficiencies are investigated in Eskilstuna

Both safety representatives and the Swedish Work Environment Authority have also pointed out shortcomings in Samhall's incident reporting.

The Swedish Work Environment Authority, for example, is currently investigating serious deficiencies in the work environment at Samhall in Eskilstuna.

One of the points that the Swedish Work Environment Authority addresses in its notification is incident reporting.

If the problems are not remedied, Samhall is threatened with a fine.

- There are local work environment committee meetings at district level where figures on sickness rates, incidents and occupational injuries are presented.

But I get information that the figures presented there do not always correspond to how many incidents have actually been made.

There can be three registered incidents, although at least ten are made by an individual safety representative.

Some incidents just "disappear", they are removed or not registered at all.

Samhall replies that it has a system for incident reporting and that: "Samhall aims to increase incident reporting so that we can find the risks before they become an occupational injury and we have seen a positive development in the reporting."

With regard to sickness rates, it is written that Samhall's "employees have various work disabilities, such as chronic illness and comorbidity, which leads to a higher sickness absence, but it is not to be equated with occupational disease."
