Occupational safety and health (OSH) for non-OSH professionals in Germany: supporting occupational safety and health compliance (Case DE5)

This case study presents the ‘Offensive Mittelstand’ (OM) initiative, an independent platform of intermediary organisations active at the federal level (social partners, social insurance companies and chambers, professional and trade associations — for example, of tax advisors, management consultants, energy consultants, occupational safety professionals, occupational physicians). 

Existing advisory contacts can build a bridge between companies and OSH. The OM offers consultants an online qualification in ‘OSH for non-OSH professionals’ so that they can connect companies or employees in need of OSH advice with OSH professionals.
