Employee protection

The aim of occupational health and safety legislation is to protect the life and health of employees in the course of their work. Humane working conditions and high safety standards in companies reduce the economic and operational costs of accidents at work and work-related illnesses.

As is the case in almost all areas, the meaningfulness and success of company measures depend on the commitment and conviction of those affected – and in this case, that means employers and employees alike. If employee protection is only seen as an annoying “appendage” in the workplace, only half-hearted alibi actions are taken – which are likely to bring nothing but costs and effort. In our experience, for example, the obligation to evaluate and document only really had a positive and noticeable impact in companies where it was seen as an opportunity and a sensible measure.

Wenn Arbeitgeber*innen und Arbeitnehmer*innen gleichermaßen davon überzeugt sind, dass gelebter Arbeitnehmer*innenschutz ein wichtiger Faktor für einen gesunden, sicheren und dabei produktiven Betrieb ist, wird sich auch etwas zum Positiven ändern!
