ArbStättV

ArbStättV refers to the German Ordinance on Workplaces (Arbeitsstättenverordnung). This regulation lays down the minimum requirements for safety and health protection in workplaces. It aims to ensure that employees have a safe and healthy working environment. The ArbStättV covers a wide range of aspects concerning the design and operation of workplaces, including building requirements, lighting, ventilation, temperature control, noise levels, and the provision of sanitary facilities.

Key areas addressed by the ArbStättV include ensuring that workplaces are adequately lit, that there is sufficient fresh air and appropriate temperatures, and that noise is kept to a minimum. It also specifies requirements for emergency exits and escape routes, as well as the provision of first-aid facilities. The ordinance applies to all types of workplaces, regardless of the industry or size of the company. Employers are legally obligated to comply with the provisions of the ArbStättV and to implement the necessary measures to protect their employees. Enforcement of the ordinance is typically carried out by the relevant state authorities.
