Research-oriented start-ups often grow quickly without having solid occupational safety structures in place from day one. An external safety professional helps to meet the requirements of Section 6 ASiG and DGUV Regulation 2 without immediately creating internal positions. SAFETY & HEALTH Consulting offers flexible models for this purpose.

When an external safety professional makes sense

Small teams and young companies usually need limited service hours but still want to make sure that risk assessments, training sessions and operating instructions are complete and up to date. An external professional supports them in prioritising, selecting appropriate measures and documenting them in a traceable way.

Benefits for start-ups and research companies

External safety professionals bring experience from similar organisations and are familiar with both classic risks and specialised questions in laboratories and development departments. They help to find pragmatic solutions without unnecessarily complicating day-to-day operations. Related topics such as biological safety can be integrated if required; for more on this, see our article Biological safety and genetic engineering law: biological safety officers in the Mannheim–Heidelberg region.

SAFETY & HEALTH Consulting positions itself as a partner for start-ups that take occupational safety seriously from the beginning while remaining flexible.
