Questions

Gefährdungsbeurteilung: what people ask

Who must carry out a Gefährdungsbeurteilung?

Every employer. You assess the hazards linked to the work to decide which health and safety measures are needed, by type of activity. Where working conditions are the same, assessing one workplace or activity is enough.

What must I write down?

You must have records showing the result of the assessment, the measures you decided on and the result of checking them, as needed for the type of work and number of staff. Where hazards are alike, summarised records are enough.

Do I need to assess psychological strain?

Yes. The law lists psychological strain at work among the hazard sources, alongside workplace design, physical, chemical and biological effects, work equipment, work processes and working time, and insufficient qualification or instruction.
