Tech/Engineering - Safety
Norwegian term or phrase: Vedkomne
"Skriftlig advarsel og samtale med enhetsleder. Underskrives også av vedkomne."

This is taken from a safety manual regarding protective clothing

Wondering who they are referring to in this instance. Is it the 'enhetsleder'? Or a more general 'relevant parties'?

the person concerned/in question


Explanation:
In my dictionary and also in Bokmålsordboka, the word is spelt like this: vedkommende. The verb is: vedkomme=to concern.

In my opinion, this is referring to the person who has failed to use the protective clothing.

You could also use "relevant parties".
