What matters here
The region covers Berlin, Brandenburg, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Typical for the region are startups and IT companies, associations and non-profits, agencies as well as a high density of organisations around politics and public administration. These are office and administrative businesses throughout, so support group III with 0.5 hours of basic support per employee and year.
Startups and agencies grow quickly and regularly overlook the threshold above 20 employees at which an occupational safety committee must be set up. Associations and organisations around politics and administration often work with changing project staff and volunteers, which affects the training obligation: it applies regardless of how long the engagement lasts.
What differs regionally
The duties themselves are identical nationwide. Two things differ:
- The district office of your employers' liability insurance association. For office businesses this is usually the Verwaltungs-Berufsgenossenschaft. In this region four VBG district offices share the territory: Berlin for Berlin and Potsdam; Dresden for Leipzig, Dresden and Chemnitz; Erfurt for Halle (Saale), Magdeburg, Erfurt and Jena; Hamburg for Rostock. What decides is the postcode of your site, not the federal state.
- The state occupational safety authority. This is a matter for the federal states. Responsible here are different bodies depending on the federal state, in Berlin the state office for occupational safety, health protection and technical safety. It can act independently of the insurance association.
What to do when post arrives is set out in A letter from the employers' liability insurance association.
