Occupational health surveillance (OHS) is a specialised, preventive service designed to help companies deal systematically with the working environment, workers' health and work-related risks. Unlike general healthcare, BHT is not designed to cure illnesses - its aim is to prevent problems before they occur.
In many sectors in Norway, BHT is mandatory by law. The company must cooperate with an approved occupational health service and actively work on preventive measures.
In practice, this means that the company enters into a contract with an approved BHT service and, at the same time, draws up an annual action plan. Work environment assessments, risk analysis, advice and an annual report are carried out. All this is documented and becomes part of the systematic work on the working environment.
It is important to understand that BHT is not just a formal requirement or a „verification agreement“. It implies real cooperation, active risk assessment and implementation of concrete measures. This is the only way to ensure that the working environment is safe and meets the requirements of the Norwegian Working Environment Act.
A well-organised BHT service helps to identify physical and psychosocial risks at an early stage, assess working conditions and develop clear, actionable measures. This gives the company better control, reduces the risk of accidents and work-related illnesses, and helps to create a more stable and healthier working environment.
Consultations, assessments and all documentation in your own language - a clear process for managers and employees.
A contract with BHT, an annual action plan, work environment assessments and an annual report are all you need to comply.
We meet the Norwegian requirements for occupational health care providers and have an experienced, qualified team of specialists.
The Nord Hms team is always professional, flexible and quick to respond to our needs. We particularly appreciate your open communication, ability to offer practical solutions and reliability.
With your help, we have been able to resolve safety compliance issues.

We needed all workers to have access to workplace safety rules in their own language - that was a problem for us before, and you have solved it.
3 benefits: systematic presentation of the rules, speed and clarity.
Our company has been working with Nord BHT for a number of years and we can definitely recommend them. I can tell you from experience that we really do have safety at work - it is not just a formality.
We have had a number of tricky situations where they have been very helpful and have given us the knowledge to avoid them in the future. They answer all questions quickly and clearly and their courses are useful and relevant.
I have a medium-sized cleaning company and have had a service contract with Nord BHT AS for a year. I am very very very satisfied with their service. Professional, very efficient, reliable, polite, excellent customer service. In 2023, the Norwegian Labour Inspectorate inspected my company twice, and both times I received great and very efficient support from Nord BHT staff, so I passed the inspection with less stress, knowing that they support me. By the way, everything related to Nord BHT's work was rated as excellent by the NLI.
Another very important thing is that I can get all the help I need in the language of my mother, Lithuanian. This is important. I recommend this company to all Lithuanians doing business in Norway, to all foreigners and Norwegians doing business in Norway.
Very satisfied with Nord BHT's service. Competent and qualified professionals. They even sacrificed their Sunday, flying 2000 km to help me solve my problems. Many thanks to Audrius Uselius.
We are very satisfied with your service. Professional, very efficient, excellent customer service.
Our company needed a BHT system. We were looking for a company that could help us. We found out that NORD BHT provides these services and many others in Lithuanian. It was very convenient for us, so we started cooperation with NORD BHT.
Nord BHT's specialists also helped us when we had to deal with the Labour Inspectorate. They were inspecting the client's construction site and at the same time they were inspecting our work. They found irregularities. Because we did not understand what the Labour Inspectorate was asking us to do, we were not able to respond to them in time. Later we went to the inspector ourselves and communicated directly, thinking that the problems could be solved verbally. However, we were unpleasantly surprised when, after the interview, we received an instruction from the Labour Inspectorate that failure to provide the missing documents would result in the suspension of the company's activities. We realised that we needed specialist help and immediately turned to NORD BHT, who were very prompt and very professional in resolving the situation: they explained the requirements, laws and regulations in force and helped us to prepare the necessary documentation. We have been working with this company for three years now, improving the competence of our employees and solving work safety challenges in the company and on the construction site. We are very satisfied with Nord HMS services and would recommend them to others!
I am very happy. When I found myself in the Norwegian authorities' inspection, Nord BHT the same day I contacted them, they arranged all the paperwork and training! Very professional and friendly service - all in Polish. Very highly recommended!
We started working with Nord BHT after a recommendation from colleagues. After the Arbeidstilsynet check, we had to complete certain formalities. I have only been working in Norway for one year, so there are a lot of things I don't know or understand. This company was just what I needed.
Nord BHT specialists provided a list of documents to be prepared, answered questions from the labour inspectorate, and took an interest and responsible approach to the process. I can safely say that they are experts in their field! Our company's expectations were met. Nord BHT helped us to obtain the necessary permits and organised the necessary seminar to ensure that the same situation would not happen again during the next inspection. In addition to all this, we had a real financial benefit: ZJ BYGG AS was fined NOK 10,000 by the Labour Inspectorate for using faulty scaffolding. Thanks to Nord HMS specialists, this fine was cancelled, but most importantly, we now have a good relationship with the labour inspectorate!
I would recommend NORD BHT, it is a company that knows how to help and most importantly - at an affordable price!
I would like to thank you for a very good and pleasant cooperation.
I highly appreciate NordBHT for its reliability, punctuality, helpfulness and extremely fast and pleasant communication.
Working with you on the BHT system is much easier and quicker, and I can „delegate“ a lot of my responsibilities to you, which saves me time and reduces my workload.
Using NordBHT services gives me more time for myself/company, a well-maintained BHT system, and completed courses and training in BHT.
The most important thing for me is your help in training and in the management of the BHT system, which I think you are doing very well. I certainly could not have done it so well myself!
I chose Nord BHT because I received a recommendation from colleagues. It is very important to be able to communicate and receive important information in my mother tongue and avoid misunderstandings and ambiguities.
Nord BHT AS organised our chemical inventory, ensured BHT compliance with Norwegian legislation and carried out a risk assessment. Provided professional legal support in dealing with Arbeidstilsynet and Skatteetaten. We avoided financial losses - the company's operations were not suspended and we met the requirements. Even in personal matters, I got the help I needed.
We would not be able to cope on our own, if only because of the language barrier, and it is not possible to know the whole legal framework. It is much more efficient to seek help from experts in the field.
Employers must ensure that the workplace is safe and does not harm people's health. Nord BHT has helped us to change the way we look at workplace safety requirements. We choose a responsible approach! We comply with the requirements and cooperate with the responsible authorities.
I can confidently recommend Nord BHT because they have solved my problems.
We started working with Nord BHT after a recommendation and we were not wrong in our trust. A huge plus is that the service is in Lithuanian, understandable and clear.
Nord BHT has helped us to put the BHT system in order, to ensure the health and safety of our employees, in compliance with the requirements. The manager is responsible for the health and safety of the employees - his main task is to comply with the safety requirements, but it is not always clear what those requirements are, especially in a foreign country. That's where professional help comes in handy! Working with NORD BHT we feel safe and calm because we get help and answers to our questions.
When we faced Arbeidstilsynet, we were threatened with a fine and the closure of the construction site due to improperly constructed scaffolding. Nord BHT has helped us to rectify these deficiencies promptly and professionally, to ensure that we work safely, comply with the requirements, and most importantly, we are committed to rectifying the deficiencies immediately. The financial benefits for the company were savings of around NOK 50 000 and avoided downtime due to the timely and appropriate response.
These are professionals who know their job and are responsible! Don't be afraid to ask for help.
Good afternoon,
We are very satisfied with our cooperation with your company. We particularly appreciate the quick response and professional approach - we can always count on prompt assistance.
Thanks to your help, our employees have the opportunity to attend BHT (Health, Environment and Safety) courses, which makes our daily operations much easier. Recently, we have particularly appreciated your help in organising the A13 course certificates - everything went smoothly and without any problems.
Communication with your team is always fast and specific, so we feel safe and know we can rely on your help.
We are happy to recommend cooperation with your company.
Bedriftshelsetjeneste (BHT) is a compulsory occupational health service in Norway, approved by the Norwegian Labour Inspectorate (Arbeidstilsynet), which helps employers to manage the occupational health of their employees in a preventive way and to help ensure a healthy working environment in the company. BHT's specialists - occupational physicians, ergonomics experts, occupational hygienists and nurses - provide the company with independent occupational health support that the employer cannot provide for itself.
BHT helps to assess the working environment, identify risks, plan preventive measures and reinforce the overall safety culture of the company.
Not for all, but for many, yes. According to Forskrift om organisering, ledelse og medvirkning (2011), the obligation to have a contract with an approved BHT service is determined by the company's field of activity (bransje)/NACE, the nature of the company's actual activities and the level of risk. The BHT obligation applies to all construction, manufacturing, transport, cleaning, production and many other high-risk sectors. If your activities fall within this list and you do not have a BHT contract, this is a legal breach that can be identified during an inspection.
No. A formal agreement alone is not enough. It is important that the BHT service is actually used and contributes to the company's preventive work. No. Arbeidstilsynet checks not only the BHT contract, but also the actual use of the BHT service and cooperation with the BHT service. The company must document how and when BHT has been included in risk assessment, work with the HMS system, monitoring of the occupational health of workers or assessment of the working environment. A formal agreement without real cooperation is a violation that can lead to fines.
Yes. The cooperation with BHT needs to be documented to show how the service is used in the company.
Contacting us is the fastest and most reliable way. We will assess your NACE code, the nature of your work and the number of your employees, and tell you specifically whether the obligation applies, from when, and what level of BHT service you need.
