Targeted occupational health and safety: focus on accident prevention in the modern world of work
In today's rapidly evolving and demanding world of work, targeted occupational health and safety with a focus on accident prevention is more important than ever. The basis for a functioning employment system is the creation and maintenance of safe and humane working conditions. Modern technology enables ever more efficient work processes that can be completed in the shortest possible time. However, efficient occupational health and safety also means ensuring effective accident prevention and regularly reviewing it, especially in view of the challenges of digital change. Occupational health and safety are key areas of focus at DMT ENCOS as part of occupational health and safety analyses for plant operators. The aim is to effectively protect employees from hazards and health hazards. Reliable legal foundations and compliance with binding framework conditions are essential for this.
The Occupational Health and Safety Act (ArbSchG) is the most important basic law for occupational health and safety. It obliges employers to regularly analyse and assess health hazards in the workplace and decide on the necessary protective measures. Technical changes play a key role in this. The employer or operator must continuously ensure a functioning occupational health and safety organisation in the company. This can be achieved particularly effectively through the sustainable integration of occupational health and safety into the structures and processes of a company. Furthermore, the employer must regularly instruct employees on health and safety at work and take precautions for particularly hazardous work areas and work situations. The Occupational Health and Safety Act offers companies relatively free scope for organisation in order to do justice to the different circumstances of each company. However, it is concretised by numerous occupational health and safety ordinances that describe in detail measures for safe workplace and workplace design, safe use of work equipment, noise protection, occupational health precautions, load handling and the handling of hazardous or biological substances.
The employer must regularly instruct employees in occupational health and safety so that they can recognise health hazards and react appropriately. Regular instruction requires a customised focus on the respective work situation in the company. This training is crucial for raising awareness of potential hazards and strengthening employees' ability to act appropriately in critical situations.
The health and safety of employees can be guaranteed most effectively if occupational health and safety is firmly and sustainably integrated into a company's structures and processes. This also includes regular emergency drills in order to handle certain situations more routinely in the event of danger. Occupational health and safety management systems actively contribute to improvement and awareness within the workforce. These systems promote a culture of safety in which every employee takes responsibility for their own safety and that of their colleagues. By integrating health and safety measures into daily practice, a continuous improvement process is initiated that makes the entire organisation safer and more efficient.
Our supplementary services create real added value: from digital project management and sustainability consulting to operational optimization - we support you throughout all project phases.
With our EPCM approach, we bundle engineering, procurement and construction management into an efficient overall process. Supplementary services such as approval management or commissioning ensure the highest level of planning depth and project transparency - from a single source.
In basic engineering, we lay the foundation for project success: with reliable concepts, initial designs, cost estimates and schedules. We create planning security, identify risks at an early stage and prepare the next project phase in the best possible way.
In detail engineering, we transform concepts into concrete, ready-to-implement solutions: with complete plans, parts lists, specifications and interface coordination. In this way, we create the conditions for smooth procurement and implementation on site.
Safety is no coincidence: we integrate customized safety concepts into every phase of your system - from planning to operation. Whether explosion protection, functional safety or risk assessment according to HAZOP - we ensure standard-compliant implementation and maximum operational safety.
We manage your construction site with experience, vision and technical precision. Our construction management ensures smooth processes, coordination of all trades and compliance with costs, deadlines and quality - for maximum safety and project success on the construction site.
Paper is a thing of the past: with ENCOS, you can rely on digital plant documentation that noticeably improves access, management and efficiency. Whether archiving, system integration or mobile use - we make your documentation future-proof, flexible and legally compliant.
Whether energy supply, automation or process safety - our EI&C planning integrates seamlessly into your systems. From concept development to commissioning, we deliver sophisticated solutions for measurement and control technology - compliant with standards and reliable in operation.
We combine process engineering and process technology to create integrated solutions - from the initial idea to implementation in your plant. With sound analysis, innovative concepts and practical planning, we optimize material flows, energy use and process reliability in the long term.
From the route to the isometry: we plan pipelines precisely, economically and in compliance with regulations. Whether new planning, conversion or revamp - our piping team masters all standards, materials and media. 3D planning, stress analysis and ease of installation included.
With Aspen tools, we analyze the technical and economic feasibility of your process engineering concepts at an early stage. Whether material flow simulation, energy efficiency or scale-up - we provide a reliable basis for decision-making on investments, optimization and project design.
Whether rotating devices or static equipment: our mechanical engineering ensures durable, maintenance-friendly and process-integrated solutions. In close coordination with process engineering, I&C and electrical engineering, we plan robust, ATEX-compliant and efficient solutions - right up to the specification stage.
Whether foundation statics, steel construction, pipe route planning or 3D laser scanning: Our civil engineering is fully integrated into the system planning. We think about trades together, secure interfaces and deliver reliable foundations - ideal for EPCM projects and complex conversions.
Whether BImSchG, WHG, AwSV or Hazardous Incident Ordinance – we develop approval-ready projects and integrate all requirements right into your planning. From application and condition management to safety analysis: interdisciplinary, legally compliant, and perfectly aligned with the authorities.
Whether new construction, expansion, conversion or modernization - we manage your project in a structured, efficient and flexible manner. With clear organization, deadline and cost control, technical expertise and interdisciplinary coordination, we ensure planning security and sustainable project success.
Technical regulations, inspection deadlines, liability: We support you in fulfilling your operator obligations - from risk analysis and compliance strategies to training. Together with the TÜV NORD GROUP, we identify weak points and create legally compliant, sustainable structures.
