Core offering

Suntarbetsliv provides free digital self-assessment and management tools (SAM-verkstan, OSA-kollen, Digi-ronden, Friskfaktorlabbet, Prehabguiden) and an AI-assistant, alongside podcasts, webinars, and research-based articles, to support Swedish municipalities, regions, and municipal companies in their systematic work environment management. All tools and content are offered at no cost to managers (chefer) and safety representatives (skyddsombud).

Product overview

Suntarbetsliv provides a portfolio of free, jointly developed tools, education programs, and content resources for occupational health and safety in Swedish municipalities, regions, and municipal companies. The core tools include SAM-verkstan (a systematic work environment management workshop), OSA-kollen (organizational and social work environment assessment), Digi-ronden (digital work environment inspection), Friskfaktorlabbet (health factor analysis), and Prehabguiden (rehabilitation and work adaptation guidance). These are complemented by educational offerings — Arbetsmiljöutbildningen (basic systematic work environment education) and Friskfaktorsteget (health factor education) — and content resources including the podcast 'När alla vinner,' research summaries under 'Forskning på 5,' the Arbetsmiljöordlistan (occupational health glossary), workplace meeting materials, and checklists such as the annual follow-up checklist. An AI assistant on suntarbetsliv.se provides conversational access to the organization's knowledge base. The portfolio is jointly developed by trade union and employer organizations (SKR, Sobona, and affiliated unions) and is delivered free of charge to the public sector.

Others

• Nyckeltalsinstitutet: Swedish research and benchmarking institute for workplace health and leadership indicators, often working in partnership with the same social-partner ecosystem. Adjacent rather than competitive, but referenced by Suntarbetsliv's audience when comparing tools and metrics.
• AFA Försäkring: Swedish occupational-insurance and research organization jointly owned by the same employer and trade union confederations that back Suntarbetsliv. It is not a software competitor, but it funds and disseminates much of the OHS research that flows through Suntarbetsliv's channels, making it the closest ecosystem peer.

Direct peers

• Intelex: Toronto-based EHSQ platform providing configurable modules for incident management, training, audits, and compliance. Comparable in modular, configurable SaaS shape — relevant as a benchmark for any future expansion of Suntarbetsliv tools into heavier enterprise OHS workflows.
• Quentic: Berlin-based SaaS platform for EHS and compliance management, popular in European mid-market and public-sector employers. Directly comparable in customer mix (mid-large European employers including public sector) and in module coverage (risk, audits, incidents, legal compliance) to Suntarbetsliv's tool portfolio.
• VelocityEHS: North American EHS software platform covering incidents, audits, training, and chemical management. Comparable in product shape (modular tools for risk, training, audits) and in serving safety/HR teams within employers — a relevant benchmark for Suntarbetsliv's gradual move from content to embedded tooling.
• Prevent: Sweden-based non-profit owned by the country's employer and trade union confederations, providing OHS advice, training, and tools to Swedish workplaces. It is the closest structural analog to Suntarbetsliv: same social-partner ownership model, same free-to-employers positioning, same bipartite mandate — and serves an overlapping municipal and private-sector audience.
• SHE Software (now part of SAI360): UK-origin EHS/SHE software platform — formerly SHE Assure — providing modules for risk assessment, audits, incident management, and occupational health workflows. Functionally comparable to the SAM-verkstan and OSA-kollen tool families and to the digital safety-round functionality in Suntarbetsliv's portfolio.
• Cority: Toronto-based EHSQ software provider with deep workflows for occupational health, industrial hygiene, and sustainability. Comparable in occupational-health process depth and in serving large, multi-site employers — relevant as a benchmark for any verticalized expansion of Suntarbetsliv into clinical/occupational-health records.
• EcoOnline: Nordic-origin SaaS provider of workplace health, safety, and chemical-management software, serving employers across Europe. It is a direct commercial counterpart to Suntarbetsliv's digital tools (SAM-verkstan, OSA-kollen, Digi-ronden), particularly in the OHS workflow and risk-assessment categories.

Broad incumbents

• SafetyCulture: Australian-headquartered workplace operations platform (iAuditor, etc.) covering inspections, training, and asset operations. Broader than Suntarbetsliv in scope (operations, asset, quality) but a meaningful incumbent benchmark for digital workplace inspections and safety rounds — the closest large-scale analog to Digi-ronden.
