"Arbetsmiljöverket, AV (English: Work Environment) is a Swedish administrative authority under the Ministry of Employment (official website: https://www.regeringen.se/sveriges-regering/arbetsmarknadsdepartementet/), responsible for issues relating to the working environment and work injury.

It takes its current form in 2001, when the "Arbetsmarknadsstyrelsen, AMS" (English: Occupational Safety and Health) and the "Yrkesinspektionen" (English: Occupational Safety Inspectorate) were merged into one, the "Arbetsmiljöverket, AV" (English: Work
Environment).

It traces back its origins to the establishment of the "Yrkesinspektionen" (English: Occupational Safety Inspectorate) back in 1890. Also, aside from this, the "Arbetsmarknadsstyrelsen, AMS" (English: Occupational Safety and Health) (1948-2007) and the "Arbetarskyddsstyrelsen, ASS" (English: Occupational Safety and Health) were established as parallel but complimentary.

On January 1, 2008 the "Arbetsmarknadsstyrelsen, AMS" (English: Occupational Safety and Health), "Arbetsmarknadsverkets" (English: Labor Market) and the several existing "länsarbetsnämndernas" (English: County Labor Board) were taken over by the "Arbetsförmedlingen" (English: Employment Service) (official website: http://www.arbetsformedlingen.se/)".
