Arbeitsschutzbehörden
Arbeitsschutzbehörden are governmental agencies responsible for overseeing and enforcing occupational safety and health regulations. Their primary mission is to protect workers from hazards in the workplace and ensure employers comply with legal requirements aimed at preventing accidents and work-related illnesses. These authorities conduct inspections of workplaces, investigate complaints and accidents, and provide guidance and information to both employers and employees on safety practices.
The specific responsibilities and structures of Arbeitsschutzbehörden can vary significantly between countries and even within regions
In many jurisdictions, these agencies are part of a larger ministry, such as a ministry of labor
