Certification of boiler operators should not be considered an unnecessary cost but an important investment in safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Improper handling can cause serious damage<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Handling pressurized boilers carries significant risks and mishandling can lead to serious injuries. Certification attests to correct handling and knowledge of the operators.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Swedish system for accreditation and certification works<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The procedures and methods associated with accreditation and certification are well-tried and have proven to work very well in several areas. It is therefore high time to apply the system to more areas and create the conditions for a safe and sustainable society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Predictability and continuity over regulatory burden reductions:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The government and authorities should focus on providing a stable and predictable regulatory environment rather than reducing the regulatory burden in ways that could compromise safety. We are therefore critical of the authority&#039;s inability to provide clear messages and the multiple postponements of the certification introduction, which have created uncertainty and difficulties for companies to plan.<\/p>\n\n\n<section  class=\"tebab-block-file_list\">\n    \n            <h2>Read more<\/h2>\n    \n            <div class=\"file-list\">\n                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swetic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Debattartikel_Swetic.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"styled-button\">\n                    <span>Debate article \u2013 certification of boiler operators<\/span>\n                    <div class=\"icon-wrapper\">\n                        <div class=\"icon-external\"><\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/a>\n                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swetic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Skrivelse_AV_Swetic.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"styled-button\">\n                    <span>Letter to the Swedish Work Environment Authority<\/span>\n                    <div class=\"icon-wrapper\">\n                        <div class=\"icon-external\"><\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n    \n<\/section>","protected":false},"featured_media":267,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"class_list":["post-348","focus_area","type-focus_area","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swetic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/focus_area\/348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swetic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/focus_area"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swetic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/focus_area"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.swetic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/focus_area\/348\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":351,"href":"https:\/\/www.swetic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/focus_area\/348\/revisions\/351"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swetic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swetic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swetic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
