Basic HSE for employees
The basic training every employee needs: rights and duties, everyday risks, how to report a deviation, and fire safety and first aid. Suited to new starters, apprentices, seasonal workers and agency staff.

Deviations, checklists, procedures and risk in one place, with ready-made content for your industry. Works on the phone, even where there is no signal.
Basic HSE training, managers, safety representatives, first aid, working at height and more – online, in 5 languages (norwegian, english, polish, romanian, lithuanian). Part of Samsvara when you commit for 12 months or pay for a year.

The basic training every employee needs: rights and duties, everyday risks, how to report a deviation, and fire safety and first aid. Suited to new starters, apprentices, seasonal workers and agency staff.

The training the managing director must take personally: the manager’s responsibility, internal control, risk assessment, safety representatives, deviations and inspections – and how HSE becomes part of daily operations.

The basic training for safety representatives and working environment committee members, online and at your own pace: the legal basis, safety inspections, risk assessment, deviations and whistleblowing.

The theory of first aid: raising the alarm, airways, CPR and defibrillators, bleeding and burns – and the readiness the employer must have in place. Built for yearly refreshers.

The theory for everyone who works where there is a risk of falling: planning, collective and personal fall protection, harnesses and anchoring, rescue and inspection of the equipment.

How to identify hazards, assess risk and choose measures – and how to carry out a safe job analysis before a non-routine job. With method, risk matrix and examples.

A more thorough basic course for employees who are neither managers nor safety representatives but want more than the minimum. Also works as shared HSE training for the whole company.

A shorter alternative to the 40-hour course where the parties have jointly concluded that shorter training is adequate. The course explains what the agreement and the assessment should contain.

How to prevent strain, harassment and conflict, and how whistleblowing should be handled – for managers, safety representatives and employees.

Lifting technique, a well set-up workstation, breaks and variation – for offices, warehouses and production. Musculoskeletal problems are among the most common causes of sick leave, and much can be prevented.

What noise does to hearing, the limit values, measurement, and choosing and using hearing protection – for everyone who works in noisy environments.

Safe use of angle grinders, circular saws, drills and nail guns: risks, protective equipment, maintenance and when a tool must be taken out of use.

The risks on a building site, the roles under the construction client regulations, the health and safety plan, the most common accidents and how to stop dangerous work. Aimed especially at new, agency and foreign workers.

For those who work on scaffolding rather than erect it: scaffold types, checks before use, load classes, moving safely and how to report and close off a faulty scaffold.

The theory for safe use of scissor lifts, boom lifts and other work platforms: daily checks, ground and wind, fall protection in the basket and emergency procedures.

For those who work in older buildings: where asbestos can be found, why the fibres are dangerous, which tasks pose a risk, and what to do if you suspect it.

The annual FSE training for anyone working on or near low-voltage installations: the dangers of electricity, responsibilities and roles, working dead, working near and on live parts, tools and protective equipment – and first aid after electrical accidents.

The annual FSE training for anyone working in or near high-voltage installations: arc flash, distances and zones, organisation and switching, isolation with earthing and short-circuiting, work near overhead lines and cables – and first aid after electrical accidents.

Handling chemicals safely: safety data sheets and the chemical register, hazard symbols, risk assessment, protective equipment, storage, spills and waste.

The training required before using PU foam, adhesives, coatings and hardeners containing diisocyanates: health risks, exposure, protective equipment and spills. Covers levels 1 and 2.

Theoretical training in fish welfare for staff at aquaculture sites: salmon biology, water quality, handling and transport, sea lice, stunning and slaughter, and emergency preparedness.

Ozone, disinfectants, process chemicals, silage and gases in hatcheries, RAS, well boats and service operations – with protective equipment, storage and emergency response.

What every employee should know about data protection: personal data, safe use of email and mobile, people’s rights, camera surveillance and access to email – and how to report a breach in time for the 72-hour deadline.

For those who handle, pack or ship dangerous goods: classes 1–9, marking and labels, the transport document, securing loads, the exemptions and what to do in an incident.

Cleaning agents and hazard symbols, what must never be mixed, the right protective equipment, ergonomics and first aid after chemical accidents.
How it works
Nordvik Bygg is the example company in Samsvara. From “No” in the checklist to a closed case took just over six hours, and nobody had to write a report.
Third floor, no signal. Mats writes one line about what is wrong and takes a photo. The checklist turns the answer into a deviation.
The case gets the number AVV-2026-0014 and is recorded at 07:52 – when Mats tapped, not when the network came back.
The system suggested a deadline of tomorrow based on the severity. Kari sets it to today.
Ola completes the task on his phone and writes what was done.
Kari writes the cause and ticks the follow-up “Did the action work?” in a month. The overview shows this is the fourth fall deviation in 90 days.
On the go
Deviations, checklists, documents, tasks and hours work without signal, and everything is sent when the phone is back online. No app to download: Samsvara opens from a link and can be added to the home screen.
What you do is saved on the phone and sent when the signal is back – with the time you tapped, not when the network returned.
The carpenter sees tasks, deviations and checklists. The HSE manager sees the whole system.
Employees get a link, create a password and are up and running. The same system on desktop, tablet and phone.
Features
More than checklists: all your quality work for one price, and everything is connected: a “No” in a checklist becomes a deviation, an action becomes a task, and a certificate that expires shows up in the overview.
Versions, approval and read confirmation. You see who is missing and send a reminder in one tap.
5×5 matrix with residual risk after actions. Fall from height goes from critical 10 to high 5 with a fixed guardrail procedure. It goes no lower: if someone could die, the risk is never lower than high.
Annual activities sit in their months and become tasks with an owner and a deadline. Weekly and monthly checks come on top.
Who can do what, and what is about to expire. You are alerted before a certificate expires – not after.
Ready for inspection
Section 5 of the Internal Control Regulations has eight points. Samsvara has tools for all eight, and the industry pack fills in most of it from day one. The guide shows what is left.
No software approves your internal control – the work you do is what counts. The full section 5 is on Lovdata. The points are simplified.
Industry packs
Company name, name, email and password. Org. no. and address are fetched from the Brønnøysund Register. No card details.
Checklists, procedures, deviation categories, suggested risks and an annual plan are added for you.
They get a link by email and use the system on their phone straight away.
Including an SHA plan, a hot work procedure, scaffold inspection and HMS cards.

Already have a system?
You bring what you have. You get what was missing on top – and a system your employees actually use.
You upload your documents and procedures yourselves. If you want to bring your deviation history, we help you move it.
Checklists, procedures, suggested risks and an annual plan for your industry are added straight away.
Use both systems for the first month and switch when you are ready. The monthly agreement has no lock-in.

Security and privacy
Internal control is the company’s own documentation. You should always have access to it – even if you stop using Samsvara.

Nothing is deleted. If you order within the 30 days, everything carries on as before. If you don’t, you can still log in, read and download everything. The only thing that stops is registering anything new.
Samsvara has tools for all eight points in section 5, and the industry pack gives you a starting point from day one. The guide shows point by point what is recorded and what is missing. The work itself is yours – that is what the inspectors look for.
Everyone with access, including people who are invited but have not logged in yet. Auditors and deactivated users are not counted.
They need an email address to log in with, but not an inbox they keep an eye on. The administrator can create a temporary password in one tap, and when they log in, Samsvara asks them to choose their own.
Then Samsvara is an upgrade, not just a switch. You upload the documents and procedures you have yourselves, and the industry pack provides the rest of the starting point. If you want to bring the deviation history from your old system, let us know and we will help you move it. Feel free to run both systems side by side for the first month – the monthly agreement has no lock-in.
Your data is yours, whatever happens to us. The administrator can download everything as one file at any time – deviations, checklists, documents, risk, competence, hours and attachments. The file consists of ordinary spreadsheets and the attachments, so it opens without Samsvara.

Register the company and choose your industry, and you are up and running in ten minutes. The first 30 days are free.
