Occupational safety

I take care of the legally required tasks relating to employee protection, from systematic hazard assessment to operating instructions and safety briefings, either for you or together with your in-house resources. The aim is not the most beautiful documentation, but safety that is actually lived in your business.

Ongoing support

External safety specialist (SFK)

As an external safety specialist (Sicherheitsfachkraft, SFK), I take on the legally required safety-related support for your business under the Austrian Employee Protection Act (ASchG). You don’t get a contract with an anonymous hourly figure, but a dedicated contact person with experience on the authority side.

What you get

  • Legally compliant support as an external SFK under the ASchG and the SFK-VO
  • Annual hazard assessment and update of the safety and health protection document (SiGe-Dokument)
  • Site walk-throughs at fixed intervals, safety briefings for your employees
  • Participation in the occupational safety committee (Arbeitsschutzausschuss, ASA) where required by law
  • First point of contact for announced and unannounced visits by the Labour Inspectorate (Arbeitsinspektorat)
  • Ongoing check of the legal requirements whenever your facilities or operations change

Who is this for?

For every business – from the first employee to large companies, in every industry. Small businesses in particular often don’t know which obligations they have and what to do. That’s where I help.

  • You employ staff and want to know what employee protection requires of you
  • Your workplace evaluation or risk assessment is missing or out of date
  • The Labour Inspectorate has visited and identified a need for action

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an internal and an external safety specialist?
An internal SFK is part of your workforce and responsible for your own business. An external SFK is engaged under contract and supports several businesses. This lowers the costs compared with a full-time employee of your own and brings an outside perspective into the business. For small and medium-sized enterprises, the external solution is usually the more economical and professionally better option.
Which work equipment is subject to inspection?
All work equipment whose safety depends on how it is installed, or which wears through use, is subject to inspection. This includes in particular lifting equipment, ladders and mobile scaffolds, industrial trucks, electrical installations, pressure equipment and category III personal protective equipment. The exact inspection intervals and depth follow from the AM-VO, the manufacturer’s instructions and how the equipment is used in your business.
What are the most common mistakes from a labour inspector’s point of view?
Three classics: hazard assessments that no longer match the actual state of the business (often after extensions or conversions). Safety briefings that were signed but not understood. And inspection logs whose last entry was years ago. All three can be remedied with manageable effort if you start in good time.
