Every toolkit in the level is included; nothing is bought one by one.
The businesses it reaches
Arbetsmiljölag (1977:1160) governs employers and others who control work, including businesses that run workplaces, online sellers who dispatch goods from warehouses, waste producers who handle hazardous residues, and contractors who coordinate work on shared sites. The instrument also reaches those who design, manufacture or supply machinery, equipment and chemical products for use at work, and those who make premises available for work. The toolkit is a set of working files that organise this one instrument's obligations into phases of open questions a business answers from its own records, with the statutory text carried verbatim beside each duty.
The working files walk through the general duties of the employer and the rules on work environment management, including the planning and follow-up of work and the investigation of incidents. They continue through the coordination of work on shared sites, the allocation of work environment responsibility, and the information that must accompany products and equipment. Further files cover the information given to employees, the duties on cooperation and reporting, and the closing provisions on supervision and appeals.
Sections are served through a connector inside Claude, so nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed. The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised.
