In order to minimise hazards in the workplace, it is essential to promote the safe behaviour of employees. This includes organisational measures, the provision of personal protective equipment as well as training and information for employees. Operating instructions play a central role here.
The creation of operating instructions requires not only knowledge of the work processes, but also information on the materials, devices, machines and personal protective equipment used.
The employer is obliged to systematically check all workplaces and activities in his company for possible hazards to employees and to derive suitable protective measures (see Section 5 ArbSchG§ 3 BetrSichV). The results must be documented (Section 6 (1) ArbSchG).
The following Services are useful as standard:
- Determination of the necessary requirements for operating instructions (hazardous substances, machines, PPE, etc.) in your company
- Preparation of operating instructions for plant and machinery in accordance with the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV)
- Preparation of operating instructions for hazardous substances
- Preparation of operating instructions for hazardous and biological substances
