SIGU - Safety and dangerous goods instructions
Initial situation
Employers are obliged to provide their employees with adequate health and safety training. This instruction must be specifically tailored to the workplace and the employee's tasks. This is particularly important for employees whose work involves the transportation of dangerous goods. They must be informed about the special requirements of this activity in order to be able to act safely and responsibly. Before employees take on new tasks, they must be trained accordingly. If this has not yet been done, they may only carry out these tasks under the direct supervision of a trained person.
Objectives
These training courses and instructions ensure that employees have the necessary knowledge and skills to carry out their tasks safely and effectively. Aligning the instructions to the specific workplace and task area ensures that employees are familiar with the specific requirements. This not only ensures the safety and health of employees, but also contributes to compliance with legal regulations. The successful completion of this training and instruction therefore ensures legal compliance and verifiability of the training.
