Safety in industry refers to the preparedness required at a workplace before public rescue services arrive at the accident site.
Workplace safety is legally regulated for most larger and medium-sized businesses, while the company’s own risk assessment guides the sizing and need for equipment.
The rules for the working environment, and thus your safety at the workplace, are established in the Working Environment Act.
Since the response time from the accident until rescue personnel arrive can vary significantly, being prepared is necessary.
It is therefore crucial that employees have the necessary competence and access to the correct and appropriate equipment, so that they can provide first aid effectively until professional help is available.
This effort can be decisive for the outcome of an injury. Regardless of the type of accident, it is important to have an overview so that the right decisions can be made quickly and correctly.
