The basis of all operational action is the risk assessment

Since 1996, companies have been obliged by the Occupational Health and Safety Act to carry out an assessment of working conditions, which also includes an assessment of hazards. Accordingly, the basis for all operational action in terms of safety and health is the company’s risk assessment.

The risk assessment of the basic topics affects every type of operation and should therefore be available as one of the first risk assessments at every operating site. The socalled basic care forms the foundation and is to be recorded in this document, e.g. after an inspection and meeting. Based on our experience, this risk assessment should be updated at least every three years or as needed. It generally applies to the entire operating site.
