For you: Tackling occupational safety and health together

Federal states and public accident insurance institutions hand in hand: the Joint German Occupational Safety and Health Strategy (GDA) provides the framework.

As part of the GDA, state occupational safety and health authorities and public accident insurance institutions have undertaken to adopt a work-sharing and coordinated approach in advising and supervising companies.
This approach aims at coordination, standardisation and transparency in consultancy.

Key tools of the joint consultancy and supervisory strategy are:

• Framework agreements on the interaction of the state occupational safety and health authorities and the public accident insurance institutions
• Joint guidelines for coordinated, tactical supervisory action and equivalent implementation of occupational safety and health regulations
• Promotion of data and information exchange between the federal states and the public accident insurance institutions on company inspections
