| At the Swedish Meats R&D
in Kavlinge, Sweden, there are four divisions: Research, Analyse, Consulting services and
Administration. As consultant the work tasks can vary depending on the different needs
that arise. The field where I have been most engaged is Occupational Health. 1989 Swedish
Meats R&D held a hearing with the entire meat branch (with representatives from
co-operatives, private and authorities). Occupational health (OH) problems within
slaughtering, cutting, deboning and meat processing departments were discussed and formed
the base for the projects for the following years. Swedish Meats R&D have realised
projects within the following fields: |
| · Individual Pig
Slaughtering (KAMP) |
| · Virtual Reality Project:
Cutting and deboning (KRISTAL) |
| · Automatic Smokerod
Handling (KAPPRO) |
| The projects were partly financed by Federal funds such as AMFO
and ALF. (Funds for OH) |
| During the last few years I have worked with environmental,
animal welfare and structural projects. |
