The newspaper’s survey, to which the country’s emergency services were asked to respond, shows that 36 percent of them lack alarm stands adapted for women, and that 30 percent lack separate changing rooms.
— The survey that you have done is a finding that a number of employers have a long way to go. I get worried and frustrated, says Mikael Svanberg, federal ombudsman at Kommunal, to Kommunalarbetaren.
According to the survey, more than half of the rescue services, of both the full-time and part-time stations, lack tasks adapted specifically for pregnant firefighters. Those who are pregnant are not allowed to go on call, and since firefighters at part-time stations only work on calls, the number may be somewhat “doped”, writes the newspaper.
