An employer or sole proprietorship which does not have an HSE card for its employees or itself will be ordered to obtain such cards by the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority in the event of an inspection.
If the employer or sole proprietorship fails to comply with the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority’s order, operations may be suspended by the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority until HSE cards have been obtained. The Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority can also impose a penalty for such violation. Particularly serious cases will be reported to the police.
Employers and sole proprietorships may be penalised if HSE cards are transferred to others.
