Why Regular Occupational Safety Training Is Mandatory
Employers are legally required to provide their personnel with regular occupational health and safety training. Following initial training, occupational safety training must be conducted and documented at least once a year and whenever specific circumstances require additional instruction.
This obligation arises, among others, from:
- the German Occupational Health and Safety Act (ArbSchG),
- DGUV requirements, and
- industry-specific regulations and accident prevention rules.
The proper implementation of occupational safety training is regularly reviewed during audits, inspections and compliance assessments. Missing or inadequate training may result in liability risks, fines or insurance-related issues.
wingsacademy's online occupational safety training programmes help organisations to:
- Meet legal training obligations in a compliant manner,
- Provide regular and documented training for personnel,
- Fulfil DGUV audit and compliance requirements,
- Sustainably reduce occupational safety risks, and
- Manage training processes efficiently.
