Online training on health and safety – what is the DGUV's take?

 

Online training on health and safety – is it legal? This question is mainly asked at organisations facing hazards from work involving machinery or vehicles. The DGUV (German Social Accident Insurance) takes a clear position: The integration of electronic courses into training programmes can definitely offer benefits.

Our health and safety training programmes for technical organisations meet all DGUV requirements for online training. For example, participants can ask questions online at any time. And our experts will answer free of charge.
