What matters here

The region covers Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. Typical for the region are publishers and media houses, advertising and creative agencies, the administration of trading and logistics companies as well as insurers. These are office and administrative businesses throughout, so support group III with 0.5 hours of basic support per employee and year.

Publishers, media houses and agencies frequently work in open-plan offices. Acoustic exposure is the point most often raised there and belongs explicitly in the mental stress assessment. In the administration of trading and logistics companies there is the added point that office and warehouse areas often sit in the same building and must be assessed separately.

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. This region is covered entirely by the VBG district office in Hamburg. What decides is the postcode of your site.
  • The state occupational safety authority. This is a matter for the federal states. Responsible here are the occupational safety authority in Hamburg and the state authority of Schleswig-Holstein. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Does the occupational safety specialist come to our premises?
Yes. Walkthroughs, the first risk assessment and safety training take place at the business. Safety Club works with specialists based in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, so journeys stay short.
Do different rules apply to us than elsewhere in Germany?
Not in substance. The Occupational Safety Act, the Occupational Health and Safety Act and DGUV Regulation 2 apply identically nationwide. What differs regionally is only the responsible district office of the employers' liability insurance association and the state occupational safety authority.
Which employers' liability insurance association is responsible for us?
For office and administrative businesses it is usually the Verwaltungs-Berufsgenossenschaft (VBG). What counts is your membership notice, not an assumption about your sector. The district offices covering this region are Hamburg; which of them handles your site is decided by the postcode.
How quickly can support start?
From the first conversation to signature usually takes no more than five working days, with the first walkthrough following within ten working days.
Do you also support several sites in different regions?
Yes. You keep one contract and one point of contact, while the walkthroughs are handled by a specialist from each site's own region.
