Was ist das Ziel der Arbeitssicherheit?

Die Sicherheit am Arbeitsplatz zu gewährleisten, ist eine der wichtigsten Aufgaben des Arbeitgebers. Er schützt sich und seine Mitarbeiter:innen vor krankheitsbedingten Ausfällen, vermeidet Schwierigkeiten mit der Berufsgenossenschaft und schafft eine Organisation, die alles dafür tut, dass sich die Mitarbeiter:innen ohne Sorge um ihr Wohlergehen entwickeln und entfalten können.

Welche rechtlichen Vorschriften gibt es?

Es bestehen weitreichende Anforderungen in der Arbeitssicherheit nach dem Arbeitssicherheitsgesetz (ASiG) und der Leistungspflichten der Deutschen Gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung. Für Verstöße werden Strafen von bis zu 25.000 Euro fällig. Ebenso kann das Erlöschen des Versicherungsschutzes der jeweiligen Berufsgenossenschaft eine Folge sein.

Warum ist die Gefährdungsbeurteilung besonders wichtig?

Die Gefährdungsbeurteilung ermittelt für alle Beschäftigten eines Unternehmens die im Zusammenhang mit der betrieblichen Tätigkeit relevanten Gefährdungen. Ausgehend von diesen Ergebnissen werden individuell passende Schutzmaßnahmen zur bestmöglichen Senkung des Unfall- und Gesundheitsrisikos implementiert.

Was bedeutet Baustellensicherheit?

Die Baustellensicherheit bezeichnet die Überwachungs- und innerbetriebliche Koordinationsaufgaben auf der Baustelle. Im Hinblick auf mögliche gegenseitige Gefährdungen mehrerer Unternehmen auf einer Baustelle ist die wesentliche Rechtsbasis die Baustellenverordnung (BauStellV). Das ist in der Regel auch mit den baustellenspezifischen Fragen zum Umweltschutz verbunden.

Was regeln die Unfallverhütungsvorschriften?

Die Unfallverhütungsvorschriften stellen die verbindlichen Pflichten bezüglich Arbeitssicherheit und Gesundheitsschutz am Arbeitsplatz dar. Sie gelten für jedes Unternehmen und jeden Versicherten der gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung. Zur Einhaltung der Unfallverhütungsvorschriften wird häufig ein Sicherheits- und Gesundheitsschutzkoordinator eingesetzt.

Warum ist Brandschutz notwendig?

Laut GDV Gesamtverband der Deutschen Versicherungswirtschaft kommt es in Deutschland im Schnitt alle drei Minuten zu einem Feuerschaden. Der Brandschutz soll der Entstehung eines Brandes oder der Ausbreitung eines Brandes durch Feuer oder Rauch vorgebeugen und die Rettung von Menschen und Tieren sowie wirksame Löscharbeiten bei einem Brand ermöglichen.

Construction site safety

Statutory construction site safety includes all measures that are implemented to protect against accidents at work or occupational illnesses on construction sites.

Construction site safety: monitoring and internal coordination tasks on the construction site

Construction site safety Coordination tasks

The implementation

As part of our advice on construction site safety, we support construction companies in all aspects of occupational safety, especially in the development of an occupational safety organization adapted to the respective construction project. This is usually also linked to construction site-specific environmental protection issues. We take on monitoring and internal coordination tasks on the construction site as Health-Safety-Environmental Managers (HSE).

The benefit

With regard to possible mutual hazards between several companies on a construction site, the main legal basis is the Construction Site Ordinance (BauStellV). We take on the role of health and safety coordinator (SiGeKo) on behalf of the client and identify potential mutual hazards as early as the planning stage of the construction work, for which we then set up suitable protective measures. These include the avoidance of local simultaneity, special construction site equipment for the physical separation of trades, protective equipment used jointly by all companies as higher-level construction site equipment and the definition of special safety standards for particularly hazardous work.

As a safety coordinator, we advise the planning team on structural safety equipment and ensure that the necessary maintenance, servicing and testing activities can be carried out safely during subsequent operation of the building or system.

Achieve the protection targets required in the accident prevention regulations

The solution

During the execution of the construction work, we ensure on behalf of the client that the work of the various contractors is implemented in accordance with the results of the safety planning activities and that the companies involved in the construction observe the basic requirements for occupational health and safety in accordance with Section 4 ArbSchG for their activities. We also ensure that alternative solutions are developed and applied for deviations from the planned construction process that frequently occur on construction sites in accordance with the requirements for safe working.

In addition to the position of health and safety coordinator, we also advise on DGUV Rule 101-004 - Contaminated areas. Contaminated areas are locations, structures, objects, soil, water, air and the like that are contaminated with hazardous substances or biological agents above and beyond a basic level that is harmless to health. Through our activities, we ensure that companies achieve the protection targets required by accident prevention regulations.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions
on the subject of occupational safety / construction site safety / fire protection / hazardous substance management

Ensuring safety in the workplace is one of the employer's most important tasks. It protects itself and its employees from sickness-related absences, avoids difficulties with the employers' liability insurance association and creates an organization that does everything it can to ensure that employees can develop and thrive without worrying about their well-being.

There are far-reaching occupational safety requirements in accordance with the German Occupational Safety Act (ASiG) and the performance obligations of the German Social Accident Insurance. Penalties of up to 25,000 euros are payable for violations. This can also result in the loss of insurance cover from the relevant employers' liability insurance association.

The risk assessment determines the relevant hazards for all employees of a company in connection with their work. Based on these results, suitable individual protective measures are implemented to reduce the risk of accidents and health risks as much as possible.

Construction site safety refers to the monitoring and internal coordination tasks on the construction site. With regard to possible mutual hazards between several companies on a construction site, the main legal basis is the Construction Site Ordinance (BauStellV). As a rule, this is also associated with construction site-specific issues relating to environmental protection.

The accident prevention regulations represent the binding obligations regarding occupational health and safety in the workplace. They apply to every company and every insured person covered by statutory accident insurance. A health and safety coordinator is often appointed to ensure compliance with the accident prevention regulations.

According to the German Insurance Association (GDV), fire damage occurs on average every three minutes in Germany. Fire protection is intended to prevent a fire from starting or spreading due to fire or smoke and to enable people and animals to be rescued and effective extinguishing work to be carried out in the event of a fire.
