Legal basis & training obligation

What's the legal basis for this course?

Safety training is mandatory for all companies in Germany. This requirement is based on several interrelated regulations. Section 12 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (ArbSchG) requires every employer to provide their employees with sufficient and appropriate instruction on safety and health protection, both upon hiring and regularly thereafter. DGUV Regulation 1 (Section 4) specifies the requirements for statutory accident insurance and mandates instruction at least once a year. The Technical Rules for Workplaces apply specifically to tripping, slipping, and falling hazards: ASR A1.5 “Floors” and ASR A1.8 “Traffic Routes” define requirements for safe floor conditions and traffic routes in the workplace. Documented safety training helps you fulfill these obligations in a transparent manner while also protecting your teams in their daily work.

Who must be trained?

All employees who move within company workplaces and traffic routes as part of their activities – in practice, almost all staff, whether they work in offices, production, warehousing or in the field. Slip, trip and fall events are among the most frequent causes of workplace accidents in many companies.

When is training required?

  • At least once a year
  • When starting a job or when tasks change in a way that affects slip, trip and fall hazards
  • Additionally on special occasions, e.g. after slip, trip and fall accidents, or when traffic routes, floor coverings, work areas or organisational processes are changed
