Sole responsibility of the entrepreneur
In principle, the entrepreneur is solely responsible for occupational safety in his company. For larger companies in Frankfurt and the surrounding area, it is important to have an appropriate occupational health and safety organization in which the responsibilities are specifically regulated.
For small and medium-sized companies in Frankfurt, the managing director or shareholder is therefore always responsible.
It follows from this principle that the contractor must prepare the risk assessment conscientiously so that necessary occupational health and safety measures can be taken, such as the appointment of fire protection officers, which often does not result directly from the law, but from the risk assessment.
Counselling assistance in Frankfurt
- The entrepreneur in Frankfurt is responsible for preparing the risk assessment and is generally solely responsible
- However, if the employer meets the requirements of the Occupational Safety Act in conjunction with DGUV Regulation 2 (he employs more than 10 people), he must consult the occupational health and safety experts as consultants when preparing the risk assessment
- The central experts in occupational health and safety are the occupational safety specialist, the company doctor and the appointed fire protection officer
- The safety officer is not regarded as a direct advisor by occupational health and safety regulations, but as a whistleblower and occupational health and safety supervisor
brarbe helps you to carry out the ASA. In companies with more than twenty employees, the employer must form an occupational health and safety committee in accordance with § 11 ASiG. When determining the number of employees, part-time employees with a regular weekly working time of no more than 20 hours are to be taken into account at 0.5 and no more than 30 hours at 0.75. This committee is composed of:
- the employer or an agent of the employer,
- two works council members appointed by the works council
- Company physicians
- Occupational safety specialists
- Safety officer (§ 22 SGB VII)
The occupational health and safety committee must be held quarterly.
The regular meeting of the Occupational Health and Safety Committee has the purpose of consciously and permanently keeping occupational health and safety present as a topic.
We will be happy to help you in Frankfurt with the establishment of your occupational health and safety committee and ensure that the legally required minutes of the occupational health and safety committee or, what is really important, is that occupational health and safety and its measures can be recorded and measured and its effects can be made measurable!
