Every company in Austria has to obtain support from preventive services – this applies to the field of safety technologies as well as occupational health. This obligation is independent of the size of the company and is also valid for companies with only one employee. Differences only exist in the scale of the support provided.
Employers are principally responsible for adherence to occupational safety and health regulations. They have to ensure that all measures for the protection of safety and health, but also for the general wellbeing of the employees, are taken.
Certain jobs that involve particular danger for those doing them or for other employees, may only be carried out by workers who can provide evidence of specialist training.
Employers are obliged to include psychosocial working conditions in their workplace evaluations.
