This means ambulance personnel are prevented from responding, "unknowingly and without risk assessment," to patients who have previously threatened or been violent toward healthcare personnel, writes head safety officer Emil Skoglund on Facebook.
Last Thursday, a stop was introduced for an individual patient. Now it is being extended to all patients for whom Region Stockholm, through deviation reports, is aware that employees have been subjected to serious threats or physical violence.
Before 12:34 on Friday, the employer must decide whether to accept the safety representative's strike.
"Otherwise, the issue needs to be decided by the Swedish Work Environment Authority if the employer cannot meet what we consider to be reasonable and necessary requirements, and the police should be involved when these risks are already known within the organization," writes Skoglund.
