Hazard
assessment
Hazard assessment for occupational safety – Modern occupational safety and health aims to prevent health hazards and enhance workplace well-being. Employers assume responsibility in this regard for their staff, as safety in the workplace is considered one of the major objectives to be followed in any company. After all, every employee wants to return home healthy in the evening.
Hazard assessment, which unlike conventional accident prevention, also considers operational concerns, is available as a modern tool in occupational safety and health. The need to examine operational-specific concerns has been recognised by legislative bodies for some time now and hazard assessment consequently is taken into account in the German Occupational Safety and Health Act and in the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health and Ordinance on Hazardous Substances. It is therefore obligatory for employers.
In Germany, the provision of operating equipment by employers and the use of operating equipment by employees is regulated in the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV) “Ordinance governing safety and health protection for the use of operating equipment”.
Interaction with hazardous substances in operational environments is regulated in parallel by the German Ordinance on Hazardous Substances (GefStoffV) “Ordinance on protection against hazardous substances. Both regulations are valid in an amended form as of 01 June 2015.
