With shorter days and poor visibility, the risk of accidents increases in the fall, especially on construction sites. The German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the construction industry (BG BAU) recommends measures to keep employees visible and safe. “In darkness and poor visibility, the risk of accidents and being overlooked increases,” says Bernhard Arenz, Head of Prevention at BG BAU. He emphasizes the importance of lighting and high-visibility clothing.

Poor lighting conditions can lead to accidents at work and put employees at risk. If stairs are not well lit, for example, the risk of tripping, slipping and falling accidents increases.
