Abstract
The reforms of the 1970s have not improved health and safety in Swedish industry. Joint safety councils are more active but still have little influence on the production and thus on the working conditions. A case-study shows that in 'good' factories management uphold the ordinances and remove many simple hazards but do not cope with more complex and deeply rooted risks. The main problem in health and safety work (HSW) is not money but that the control-system of the production is not created and directed to improve the working environment. Therefore the management has a narrow scope and an inefficient organization of HSW.
