Safety
Danish term or phrase: kvalificeret indsats
The context is a query from Arbejdstilsynet to an employer regarding the latter's policy concerning safety, health and major environmental incidents (i.e., NOT public services or education):

"... tilgangen til en kvalificeret indsats på alle niveauer i selskabet ..."

The phrase is lifted from a regulation in the area, Bekendtgørelse om styring af sikkerhed og sundhed m.v. i forbindelse med offshore olie- og gasaktiviteter m.v. Unfortunately, this particular regulation is one of those for which no translation has yet been published by Arbejdstilsynet.

expertise


Explanation:
'en kvalificeret indsats' = 'relevant expertise'

agree  Adrian MM.: 'qualified' in English is, alas, ambiguous for skiiled as well as unvouched-for and with reservations e.g. qualified vs. absolute land title www.ft.dk/samling/20131/almdel/SOU/bilag/53/1303008.pdf
