Corona Occupational Health and Safety Ordinance no longer in force – infection protection remains important

Although the SARS-CoV-2 Occupational Health and Safety Ordinance and Rule no longer apply since the end of May 2022, it remains important to check and initiate measures for occupational infection protection. The German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) points this out. There is still a fundamental obligation to consider infection risks in occupational health and safety as part of the risk assessment. In addition, the need for infection protection measures may arise from state or federal regulations for certain activities or industries. Employers’ liability insurance associations and accident insurance funds support companies and facilities in this regard.
