Information to those who receive this questionnaire.
This is a questionnaire which we ask you to fill in as carefully as
possible. For most of the questions there are fixed alternative answers.
Mark the alternative which is most correct for you. Every time you turn
a page, check that you have not forgotten to answer any of the
questions.
The answers to the questions will be registered in a computer. The first
page of the questionnaire, which contains personal identification, will
be removed and kept separately, so that it will not be possible to
identify individual people when the answers are keyed in and the results
are processed. Only one person at the National Institute for Working
Life will have access to personal identification which will not be
disclosed to the company, the company health service, researchers or
any other person. In addition, the data will be compiled and reported so
that it will not be possible to recognise individual answers. The
questionnaire will be destroyed in a paper-shredder within three years.
Thank you for participating!
