Our goal: no work-related illnesses
Our goal is to prevent work-related illnesses completely by means of preventive care. The field of occupational medicine covers the entire spectrum of interaction between people, the workplace and the environment.
The type, scope and frequency of occupational health examinations are governed by several statutory and employers' liability insurance association requirements.
Occupational medicine enables prevention
By regularly inspecting plants and workplaces, we obtain significant information, which is incorporated in the overall occupational health assessment. Qualified risk assessments are, for example, the basis for evaluations and any improvements that may be derived from them. When technical and organizational innovations are made within the company, expertise in occupational health is already integrated in the planning stage.
As occupational physicians, our starting point is not the effects but rather on the causes of possible health risk factors. Preventive design enables us to reach the highest possible level of risk avoidance and health promotion. The worldwide applicable BASF Group guideline “Safety, Health and Environmental Protection (SHE) in the Design and Construction of Plants” is the basis for this approach.
