HIV-testing at work [Sweden]
HIV-testning i arbetslivet [en sueco]
These general recommendations refer to HIV-testing aimed at protecting employees in work where there is a risk of HIV infection. A very slight risk of this kind is incurred by employees who are liable to come into unprotected contact (via mucous membranes or injured skin) with blood from an infected person. HIV-testing, however, can only be offered to patients, clients, etc., since the Swedish constitution includes safeguards for the physical integrity of each individual. It is stated that, from the point of view of infection prevention, there is no reason for general HIV screening of employees.

Medical supervision of lead workers
Medicinsk kontroll vid blyarbete [en sueco]
This directive (effective 1 Jan. 1983) applies to all workers who produce, use or handle metallic lead or inorganic lead compounds (except for work with material below 50°C containing less than 2%Pb, for exposure of less than 5h/week or 20 days/year). Sections cover: medical examination and periodic blood monitoring (every 3 months; where the blood lead level (PbB) is consistently below 2.0µmo1/l, 6-monthly monitoring is sufficient); certificates and records; measures to be taken in cases of higher lead uptake (employer has to take measures to reduce exposure if a worker's PbB exceeds 2.0µmo1/l, workers with a PbB>3.0µmo1/l must be transferred to other work). The appended commentaries are mainly concerned with the toxic effects of lead.
