By way of example, the following laws apply:
In order to ensure that employees in an employment relationship are guaranteed physical and mental health during working hours, there are regulations and laws on occupational health and safety.
Employers are responsible for their employees'
- Operational
- social and
- occupational health and safety.
Effective occupational health and safety is only possible if the potential hazards in the workplace are identified and appropriate measures, means and methods are taken.
Employers must determine which specific hazards may exist at the individual workplaces (risk assessment).
Such hazards can be caused, for example, by material contamination, defective work equipment, but also by the organisation of working hours, work content and the place of work.
When assessing the risk, you must also take into account the fact that young people or pregnant women, for example, are particularly at risk and may therefore not be engaged in certain tasks.
For more information, see below:
Employers are responsible for ensuring that their employees do not suffer accidents at work and that their health is not endangered.
The Rhineland-Palatinate Trade Inspectorate, as the state authority responsible for occupational health and safety, is generally responsible for monitoring compliance with these regulations.
