Violations of the Occupational Health and Safety Act can have serious consequences. Examples of such violations include an inadequate risk assessment, a lack of protective measures or inadequate safety precautions such as unsuitable escape routes or incomplete first aid equipment. The consequences range from fines of up to €30,000 to fines or imprisonment for repeated or deliberate endangerment of the health or lives of employees. This is why it is so important for companies to strictly adhere to the legal requirements. Further information can be found on the website of the Verlag für Rechtsjournalismus.
