Work-related health and ill-health means that there must be a connection between the individual's health problems, work capacity and work requirements. The health problem must be caused by or worsened by the work, or there must be a suspicion that it is related to the work to fall into this category. This requirement differs from public health care, where illness does not necessarily have a connection to the workplace or the work performed.

The invoicing data document is separate from the invoice itself and can only be accessed in a password-protected portal, administered by Avonova, to which a few of KTH's HR employees have access.

According to the Patient Safety Act (SFS 2010: 659), consent to the disclosure of a name is considered to exist if the employer offers occupational health, with the condition that the name information may be disclosed. If you as an employee visit Avonova, you are deemed to agree that the name can be stated on the invoicing data.
