A safety officer helps companies ensure occupational safety by identifying hazards and proposing accident prevention measures. According to SGB VII and DGUV regulations, companies with more than 20 employees are required to appoint at least one safety officer. The number of safety officers required depends on the size of the company, the risk situation and the working conditions. The position of safety officer is particularly essential in areas with a high risk of accidents, such as production facilities or construction sites. The safety officer acts in an advisory capacity and contributes to the implementation of occupational safety measures without having any authority to issue instructions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":643,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nicht-kategorisiert"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nThe safety officer -
