Security

Every year, the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the construction industry (BG BAU) registers more than 90,000 accidents at work. Every fourth day, construction workers suffer a fatal accident. All those who have lost their lives as a result of an accident at work or an occupational illness are remembered on Workers Memorial Day. The idea is that no one should be harmed at work. BG BAU is taking part in the central memorial event organized by the German Construction, Agricultural and Environmental Workers’ Union (IG BAU) on April 28 in Leipzig.
