We process your personal data for the following purposes:

It appears from the Offshore Safety Act, section 50:

(1) Before work is commenced on an installation, the operator and the owner, respectively, shall ensure that the employees are sufficiently trained to attend to the tasks according to the internal emergency response plan of the installation, cf. section 45 of the Act, and to attend to their own safety in an emergency situation.

(2) The employer shall ensure that the employees are adequately instructed, and that they have the competences to ensure that their duties on the installation can be performed in such a way that the health and safety risks and risks of major environmental incidents are reduced to a level as low as reasonably practicable, including that documentation for these competences is available.

(3) Persons under the age of 18 may not carry out work on installations.

(4) The Minister for Employment may lay down regulations on training pursuant to subsection (1) and on the necessary competence pursuant to subsection (2).

The basis in law for our processing of your personal data ensues from: 

Legal basis in Danish law

We process the following categories of personal data about you:  

General information including: 

• Identification information regarding individuals and companies.

The personal information usually comes from the employer or employee. A sometimes from a third party.

Currently, the Danish Work Environment Authority cannot say how long your personal data will be stored in connection with this processing of applications. However, we can inform you that we will emphasize that we only store your personal data as long as it is necessary to fulfil our obligations in accordance with Danish law and EU legislation.

We employ automatic assessments, such as profiling, in order to target which companies is the most likely to have a problem with the work environment. 

There are no automatic assessment or profiling taking place in relations to this assignment.

As the Danish Work Environment Authority are gathering most personal data on the basis of our legislative obligations in accordance to Danish law, most of the collecting of data will not be based on a specific consent from you. When this is the case, a withdrawal of consent will rarely result in the Danish Work Environment Authority terminating any gathering or treating of your data. This is because your rights to not have data gathered and treated must be weighed against e.g. the countries right to a safe work environment.
