    Potential hazards lurk around every corner for your employees and subcontractors. Be it the execution of dangerous work, dealing with time pressure and weather conditions or difficult communication among each other. Especially when employees from different companies and trades meet, this poses an increased risk and leads to increased organizational and coordination effort. In order to guarantee the safe cooperation of all participants, the Construction Site Ordinance (BaustellV) requires the appointment of a suitable safety and health protection coordinator. We will gladly keep track of things for you on site and thus strengthen your back.
