New managers: What they should know about occupational health and safety

A new management position entails many tasks and a lot of responsibility. One of the challenges is to take care of occupational health and safety. This is because companies often see their managers as having a duty to implement the health and safety regulations set out in the Occupational Health and Safety Act. The current issue of “top eins”, the magazine for managers published by the German Social Accident Insurance Institutions, contains tips on how companies can introduce inexperienced managers to their position. The magazine can be downloaded free of charge as an e-paper or pdf.
