International Coordination

Equally high standards of health protection worldwide

Our goal is to achieve the same high standards of occupational medicine and health protection at all BASF sites worldwide.

The standards of occupational health at BASF sites worldwide are described in the globally valid Corporate Health Management Requirement.

Compliance with these standards are verified regularly in the framework of an internal audit.

Medical experts ensure know-how

The occupational health international coordination team is in constant contact with the physicians and operational managers of the group companies worldwide. This provides us with a great deal of information on medical services available at our sites worldwide, as well as in their surrounding areas. In return, we support all BASF sites by providing specialized know-how from experts within our department.

Quality assurance through regular audits

The Occupational Health Audit is a systematic, periodic assessment and documentation of the quality of occupational health standards at BASF sites.

The audits are carried out by experienced medical doctors from the Corporate Health Management department, or by regional experts. Sites are audited every five years.
