Occupational safety and health

Due to the specific features of the working environments at high/low workplaces or around onshore and offshore wind turbines, well-thought-out rescue concepts that work in practice play a significant role. They are to a significant extent decisive for the safety of your employees and for your company in the event of an emergency. We create rescue concepts, for example for

1. Industrial plants
2. Onshore and offshore wind farms
3. Individual on- and offshore
4. Wind turbines
5. Rescue of crane systems
6. Rescue from mines
7. Rescue from confined spaces, e.g. silos

Every company must comply with certain standards and precautions for the safety and protection of its employees based on the Occupational Health and Safety Act. In this context, the safety-related supervision of the company must be implemented by a specialist for occupational safety and a company physician. However, it is not the norm for smaller and medium-sized companies to employ an occupational safety specialist or a company physician on a full-time basis.
In accordance with the accident prevention regulation DGUV Vorschrift 2, three forms of supervision are available for the area of occupational safety, especially for small and medium-sized companies:

• Regular supervision for companies with up to ten employees
• Regular supervision for companies with more than ten employees
• or alternatively, a demand-oriented support for companies with up to fifty employees.

Here we offer the experts who not only professionally support your company in all questions of occupational safety and accident prevention. They also work with you to develop a custom-fit, individually tailored solution for your company, as well as for the involvement of a company physician.

Safety and Health Coordination (SiGeKo):
With our experienced safety engineers / safety coordinators, we offer the technical experts who will accompany you competently and professionally from the beginning to the end of your projects and plans in all questions of legally compliant integration in terms of safety and health protection.
In your work as a safety and health coordinator (SiGeKo), you will perform the following tasks, among others, on your behalf:

During the planning phase:

• Integrating safety and health protection into the organizational and management concept for the construction work
• Developing measures for the joint use of safety-related equipment as well as equipment for health protection (SiGe-Plan)
• Developing measures for protection against hazards caused by and in the case of cooperation between several employers

During the execution of the project:

• Organizing and coordinating the cooperation of the construction companies with regard to safety and health protection during the construction process
• Checking the compliance with the safety and health protection measures during the cooperation of the construction companies
• Classification of safety and health protection in a concept for downstream (later) work on the construction site (preparation of a corresponding document)

By using our experts as SiGeKo, we give you the security of complying with the general principles of §4 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act in the planning and realization of your projects and plans.

A fire protection document for buildings but also for wind energy plants is always required if the building is of a special type or if the plant has a special use. Company buildings, hotels, industrial plants and correspondingly wind energy plants in the on- and offshore area are buildings with a special use and are therefore subject to the legal requirement to prepare a fire protection document and corresponding fire protection certificates. 

A fire hazard can be effectively counteracted in particular by preventive fire protection measures. This becomes particularly clear when you think of the special features of a wind turbine in the on- and offshore sector: high workplaces and limited space are only two further factors that have a significant influence on a fire protection concept.

The necessary fire protection measures are planned and implemented on a project-specific basis within the framework of a fire protection document. Furthermore, fire protection documents not only have an essential function in the area of safety but are also relevant for the area of insurance. With regard to risk management, insurers evaluate such a fire protection document, for example, in the case of building insurance. According to the "General Terms and Conditions of a fire insurance company", the insurance companies assume that the legal and official regulations, which are anchored in an approved fire protection document, have been observed. 

Our experts and partners will be pleased to prepare fire protection documents for individual wind turbines, entire wind farms in the on- and offshore sector, industrial or hotel complexes and similar facilities according to the needs of you as a customer. The prepared fire protection documents comply with the DIN 14096 standard, which includes the rules for the preparation and posting of fire protection regulations.
