The web page presents a detailed guideline in pdf format outlining various options to prevent the formation of dusts at construction sites. It is aimed at builders, designers, advisors, employers, managers and workers whose job involves preventing dust on building sites. Dust on a construction site is often a serious problem — both for the workers and for the quality of the building.

The website 'Your skin — the most important 2m² of your life' informs young people about the strucure and functions of the skin, risks of skin damage, occupational skin diseases and protective measures. 

This guideline was developed to help small and medium-sized companies in the vehicle repair industry to prevent skin exposure to dangerous substances. The skin protection check helps companies to assess the possible hazards and risks when working with hazardous substances and to establish the necessary skin protection measures. A traffic light system shows the type of protective measures that are required: green for minimum protection measures, yellow for additional protection measures and red for an urgent need for protection measures.

It provides details on what information must be provided in the application, in particular regarding measurements at the construction site, and how it is evaluated in order for a process to be approved for being of low (asbestos) exposure. In these working procedures, less stringent prevention measures may be applied.

This websites gives access to lists of products that fulfil criteria as “low emission product” for the printing industries that have been developed by the occupational accident insurance in cooperation with suppliers of these products.

Under the German Hazardous Substances Ordinance, firms are required to replace hazardous substances with substances with a lower health risk, if possible. As an aid to the assessment of possible substitute substances, the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the German Social Accident Insurance (IFA) has developed the GHS Column Model.
