What matters here

The region lies in Lower Saxony. Typical for the region are insurers in Hanover, public administration, associations and the commercial areas of industrial and research sites. These are office and administrative businesses throughout, so support group III with 0.5 hours of basic support per employee and year.

Insurers and public administration work long screen hours at fixed desks. The focus is accordingly on ergonomics and whether screening is actually offered. Associations and research-related bodies often have several small sites, which affects first-aid organisation: first aiders and supplies must be in place at each site, not only at head office.

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 three VBG district offices share the territory: Bielefeld for Hannover, Oldenburg, Osnabrück, Hildesheim and Wilhelmshaven; Erfurt for Braunschweig, Wolfsburg, Göttingen and Salzgitter; Hamburg for Delmenhorst. 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 the state trade supervisory offices. 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 Hanover and Lower Saxony, 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 Bielefeld, Erfurt and 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.
