Plant inspections and risk assessment to optimize safety at work

Get an up-to-date picture of the risk potential of jobs in your company. A plant inspection with risk assessment and detailed consideration of the working conditions is recommended.

For example, the following questions arise: Do the workplaces currently already meet all the requirements of the Occupational Safety Act? Is the work of the employees/ -in according to the regulations? Are prescribed thresholds adhered to? (e.g., does the noise measurement in the assembly hall confirm that drills and saws do not cause excessive noise pollution?) Are there other potential hazards such as explosion hazards?

Expand your existing concept of occupational safety

Operating instructions and all documents necessary for occupational safety First, possibilities for optimizing safety in the workplace are identified. This creates an overview of all hazards and hazards in the company. It then lends itself to expanding the existing occupational safety concept. Operating instructions and all other documents required for occupational safety can be created in a targeted manner. In this way, unnecessary investments are avoided and the company enjoys legal certainty in the field of occupational safety. Typical topics for operating instructions: Installer instructions (for example, load securing and workplace description) Procedures after work accidents (emergency procedure) Psychologist for stress situations Instructions for handling hazardous substances

The safety specialist ensures that exemplary working methods are reinforced by positive feedback, and unsafe working methods are addressed by negative feedback. The Occupational Safety and Health Committee has the mission and the power to maintain the "recognition-assessment-elimination" cycle.
