occupational safety
The entirety of measures, laws, and regulations that serve to ensure the health and safety of employees at work and protect them from work-related hazards and accidents.
Die Einhaltung der Vorschriften zum Arbeitsschutz ist für jedes Unternehmen gesetzlich verpflichtend.
Compliance with occupational safety regulations is legally mandatory for every company.
This word is a compound made up of 'die Arbeit' (work), the linking -s, and 'der Schutz' (protection). So it literally means 'protection at work'.
Guter Arbeitsschutz senkt die Zahl der Arbeitsunfälle.
Good occupational safety reduces the number of workplace accidents.
'Arbeitsschutz' (occupational safety) is often combined with verbs such as 'einhalten' (to comply with), 'gewährleisten' (to ensure), or 'verbessern' (to improve). You can also say 'gegen den Arbeitsschutz verstoßen' (to violate occupational safety rules).
Der Betriebsrat prüft, ob der Arbeitsschutz im Unternehmen eingehalten wird.
The works council checks whether occupational safety is being observed in the company.
The word is mainly used in legal and business contexts. Common combinations are 'Vorschriften zum Arbeitsschutz' (occupational safety regulations) or 'Gesetz zum Arbeitsschutz' (occupational safety law).
Jeder Mitarbeiter muss über die geltenden Vorschriften zum Arbeitsschutz informiert werden.
Every employee must be informed about the applicable occupational safety regulations.
