Optimised implementation and documentation of a holistic risk assessment
The risk assessment is an essential element of occupational health and safety and a crucial component for fulfilling the operator's obligations. It forms the basis for systematic and successful health and safety management. In accordance with the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV), the German Occupational Health and Safety Act (ArbSchG) and the accident prevention regulation "Principles of Prevention" (DGUV Regulation 1), all employers - regardless of the number of employees - are obliged to carry out an appropriate and legally compliant risk assessment.
The Occupational Health and Safety Act requires employers to identify and assess hazards and defines potential causes of hazards as well as the objects of the risk assessment. In addition, the results of the risk assessment, the occupational health and safety measures taken and their review must be documented. This documentation is not only a legal obligation, but also a valuable tool for the continuous improvement of safety standards in the company.
The employer can carry out the risk assessment themselves or commission qualified persons such as managers, occupational safety specialists or company doctors to do so. However, the responsibility for carrying out and implementing the results always remains with the employer. The legislator grants those responsible a wide margin of discretion when implementing the Occupational Health and Safety Act. This allows the risk assessment to be flexibly adapted to the specific conditions and requirements of the company.
The legal requirements do not provide detailed instructions on how to carry out the risk assessment, only principles and guidelines. This means that there is no "right" way to carry out a risk assessment. Different approaches must be used depending on local conditions. A thorough risk assessment requires a comprehensive analysis of the working environment, the technologies used and the work processes in order to identify and evaluate all potential hazards.
Due to the complexity of the topic, we recommend the involvement of qualified experts. We offer expertise in areas such as operator obligations, explosion protection, risk assessment and HAZOP/process safety and support you in all matters relating to compliance with labour law regulations. Experts can help not only with the identification and assessment of risks, but also with the development and implementation of effective safety measures. We work with you to develop a customised concept and create the necessary documentation to meet your needs.
Your benefits at a glance:
By involving experts and applying proven methods, you can ensure that your risk assessment is comprehensive and effective to ensure the safety and health of your employees. A thorough risk assessment not only helps to fulfil legal requirements, but also to create a safe and productive working environment.
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.
