Section 5 of the Occupational Safety Act requires the appointment of an occupational safety specialist for your company in Frankfurt. DGUV Regulation 2 specifies how extensive your occupational health care and advice should be. Thus, two acts must be distinguished: Everything from a single source and therefore more efficient!

- The so-called DGUV Regulation 2 specifies the scope of care
- A distinction is made between companies with up to 10 employees (Annex 1 to Section 2 (2) DGUV Regulation) and companies with >10 employees (Annex 2 to Section 2 (3) DGUV Regulation)
- Brarbe recommends that companies with up to 10 employees in Frankfurt and the surrounding area always seek advice on the preparation of the risk assessment or use offers from the employers' liability insurance associations

- Support in the creation of a suitable occupational health and safety organisation and integration into management activities

How often is the safety support carried out?
- Generally speaking, the scope of care depends on the number of employees, the industry, the degree of danger of the activities your employees perform and the accident rate at work.
- The specific need for care is determined in hours per employee.
- The required number of hours of care per employee is determined and binding by the employers' liability insurance association of which you are a member.
-
brarbe efficiency tip:
You may weight your compulsory care hours accordingly: Example "Existing obligation to provide 10-hour care"
80% can be provided by the occupational safety specialist, 20% by the company doctor.
-

The Occupational Health and Safety Committee (ASA)
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!
