Swedish Criminal records check - part 2
What does a Swedish criminal records check involve? (part 2)
It is a check against the Swedish Security Service's criminal records register. The check is intended to demonstrate that the person concerned does not have a criminal record. Forsmark cannot perform this check without permission, therefore the individual concerned must give their consent. Forsmark needs ”Application for a criminal records check” and ”Consent to a criminal records check” forms to be completed.
We cannot control the time required for a criminal records check and, unfortunately, we cannot track the progress of a criminal records check either. It all depends on how much information Svenska Kraftnät and the Swedish Security Service have to check.
It's important that you only submit documents for individuals who are relevant to the work at Forsmark , in order to reduce the administration time for Svenska Kraftnät (intermediary) and the Swedish Security Service.
Who is responsible for submitting the documents?
The company that's carrying out the work must send the documents to Forsmark.
Where the documents should be sent?
Forms and documents should be sent to:
Tillträdesfunktionen
It is wrong and it is not permitted for a contractor to send documents directly to Svenska Kraftnät or the Swedish Security Service. Moreover, this will delay the checking process for the person concerned.
6 weeks before the work is due to start at Forsmark.
When should a person have a criminal records check? (Part 1 + part 2)
Anyone who will be working at Forsmarks plants must have had a criminal records check
Foreign nationals need a
Criminal records check - a check against the Swedish Security Service's criminal records register.
Who performs the Swedish criminal records check?
It is Forsmark as a plant that performs the criminal records check against the Swedish Security Service's. Forsmark logs and then sends the documents to Svenska Kraftnät, which then sends the documents to the Swedish Security Service, which in turn performs checks on Swedish nationals.
Before Forsmark can carry out a criminal records check on an individual, it must have received the “Security clearance certificate” and the criminal check from home country (part 1), the individual's consent (part 2) and the Swedish Security Service's "Application for a criminal records check" form (part 2).
How do you know when the Swedish criminal records check has been completed?
The contact person who pre-registered you at Forsmark should check this.
If a person has been working at Ringhals, do they still have to have a check carried out for Forsmark?
If a person has been checked for working at Ringhals, Forsmark must still carry out a check because it is the plant that carries out the check before a person can be granted access. However, the process will be far quicker because Svenska Kraftnät already has an authorisation/refusal for the person concerned from the Swedish Security Service which can be sent to Forsmark.
I've had criminal records check carried out for Oskarshamn. Why doesn't this cover me at Forsmark too?
Each nuclear power plant does its own checks. If you haven't been working for a nuclear power plant for 12 months, the check is no longer valid for the plant you have applied for.
Work at other nuclear power plants
I've worked at Ringhals. Does that mean I'm ready to work at Forsmark?
Details of medical examinations, health declarations and security & safety training are transferred to Forsmark's access systems.
Drugs tests, security clearance and criminal records checks are not transferred automatically. They must be re-done. However, the criminal records check doesn't take as long as normal because a search is already current from another nuclear power plant.
Which substances are tested for in the drugs test?
The substances tested for are amphetamines, cannabinoids, opiates and cocaine.
How is a drugs test carried out?
At a clinic/doctors' surgery through a urine sample.
Morphine - how is it classified?
Morphine is classed as a narcotic, since it is a type of opiate.
What should I do if I'm taking a morphine-based substance?
You should state that you have taken this medication before the sample is taken, and be able to supply a copy of the label on the packaging, which should indicate that it is a prescription drug, when it was prescribed and that it has been prescribed for the person concerned.
When do I have to get re-tested?
A completed drugs test is valid for three years. After that, a new test must be carried out.
