Targeted occupational safety: focus on accident prevention in the modern world of work
What does occupational health and safety mean?
In today's rapidly evolving and demanding world of work, targeted occupational 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 more efficient work processes that can be completed in the shortest possible time. However, efficient occupational safety also means ensuring effective accident prevention and regular monitoring - especially against the backdrop of digital transformation, which is making the world of work ever faster and more demanding.
Occupational safety and health protection are key focal points at DMT ENCOS as part of occupational safety analyses for plant operators. The aim is to effectively protect employees from hazards and health risks. Reliable legal foundations and compliance with binding framework conditions for all companies are essential for this.
What does the Occupational Health and Safety Act (ArbSchG) regulate?
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 to define the necessary protective measures. Technical changes play a key role here. The employer or operator must continuously ensure a functioning organisation for occupational health and safety in the company. This can be achieved particularly effectively through the sustainable integration of occupational safety into a company's structures and processes.
In addition, the employer regularly instructs employees on health and safety in the workplace and takes precautions for particularly hazardous work areas and situations. When implementing occupational health and safety measures, the Occupational Health and Safety Act gives companies or operators relative room for manoeuvre in order to do justice to the diverse circumstances of each company.
The Occupational Health and Safety Act is further specified by a large number of health and safety regulations that describe detailed measures, such as
Occupational health management
Why do I actually have to train my employees?
The employer must regularly train employees in occupational health and safety so that they can recognise health hazards and respond appropriately. Proper training requires a customised approach that is tailored to the specific work situation in the company.
Organisation of occupational health and safety
The most effective way to ensure the health and safety of employees in the workplace is to integrate occupational health and safety firmly and sustainably into a company's structures and processes. This includes, among other things, carrying out regular emergency drills to make dealing with certain situations more routine in the event of danger.
Occupational health and safety management systems also actively contribute to improving employee awareness and attitudes. They promote a culture of safety and strengthen the responsibility of each individual in the company.
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.
