Pets at the workplace
Employees should not bring pets to the workplace. The Occupational health service advise employees to not bring pets to their workplace. Pet hair and dust can lead to worsening of allergy.
If an employee must bring their dog/other pets to the workplace, this must be approved by the line manager in advance. The manager must then make sure that this is not a nuisance for other employees. Each unit can lay down prohibition of having pets at the workplace.
Have you dicovered Long-tailed silverfish at work?
Long-tailed silverfish do not pose a health hazard and the material damage is minimal. They are nevertheless considered pests because many people find them annoying. If they develop freely, they can destroy objects of high value. It is therefore problematic with Long-tailed silverfish in libraries, museums and historical collections where irreplaceable objects can be degraded and destroyed.
