Effective operational structures and processes in the area of health, safety and environment (HSE) are crucial for the success and safety of your company. The overlaps between different areas of law in this field, particularly when dealing with hazardous substances, pose major challenges for many companies.
Our experts can help you set up a robust HSE management system. We support you throughout the entire process - from planning and implementation to monitoring and continuous optimisation.
With our support, your HSE management will become a success factor.
As an external occupational safety specialist (Sifa), we take on the tasks arising from § 6 ASiG for you and advise you on all occupational health and safety measures in your company. In order to prevent accidents at work and occupational illnesses, a customised prevention strategy is required – we develop this with you and implement it in your company. Are you looking for solutions to specific problems? Our service also includes individual measures such as operating instructions and risk assessments through to complex explosion protection documents and the implementation of management systems in occupational health and safety. Together, we will strengthen the autonomous behaviour of your workforce!
As external company officers, our professionals monitor compliance with official requirements and legal regulations. With us, you can cover all areas of operational environmental protection: Immission control, waste, water protection, hazardous substances and fire protection. In addition, we can assist you with authorisation procedures (see below), advise you on environmental law and help your company make progress in the area of sustainability.
We create a storage concept for you based on your structural and technical conditions, taking into account the relevant criteria from TRGS 509, TRGS 510, AwSV, BImSchG, 4th BImSchV or 12th BImSchV, as well as water law, explosion protection and extinguishing water retention. We take your operational organisation into account and check the approval status of your plant. Are you planning a new build or conversion? We will check whether your project requires authorisation with our interdisciplinary team of experts. Your issues relating to the storage of hazardous substances are in the best and most experienced hands with us!
We create comprehensive safety concepts that take into account all aspects of plant safety and accident prevention. In addition to the safety report in accordance with § 9 of the Hazardous Incident Ordinance, this also includes operational hazard defence plans or concepts for fire and explosion protection. When planning new plants or making changes to your existing plants, we will assist you with approval procedures or notifications in the areas of immission control, water protection or the Industrial Safety Ordinance. You benefit from our strong network and many years of collaboration with planning firms, experts and the authorities involved.
Your HSE management is only as good as the associated management system for occupational health and safety and environmental protection (ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, ISO 45001) and its integration into your processes. We use our experience to analyse weak points and use the knowledge gained to jointly optimise your operational processes. A legal register can be a valuable tool here. Audits and training courses help to establish occupational safety and environmental protection in your company and involve all employees in its implementation.
The production, logistics and disposal of Li-Io batteries affects areas such as immission control law, recycling management law, occupational health and safety and transport law. We help you to implement robust processes in your company – from documentation requirements to storage, transport and hazard prevention. We check which regulatory requirements apply to your project and minimise the risks for your company. So that nothing burns!
Companies that want to survive in the long term must analyse how their activities affect the environment and society. Sustainability should therefore not just be seen as a legal requirement or a reporting requirement, but as a way to secure the future of the organisation. Our services are designed to support your company's sustainability goals. Our interdisciplinary team will accompany you step by step along your sustainability process.
"GefStoffV, BImSchG, ADR/IMDG, KrWG, BetrSichV, ArbSchG, ISO 14001 – legally compliant operational environmental protection and occupational safety is characterised by a complex combination of regulations, standards and laws. With our pragmatic perspective and comprehensive interdisciplinary expertise, we help you to organise your individual processes efficiently and sustainably."
