18.11.2016	Sascha Douffet	Safety officers - Main actors and their tasks The last talk about occupational safety gave an overview, covering history, structure, regulatory framework and tasks. Since the topic is very complex, important questions are still to be answered about the main actors and their tasks. The following topics will be discussed in the second part: Who are the main actors? What means "responsibility" with respect to occupational safety? What are the main tasks? What may happen, if responsibilities are not assumed and tasks are not fulfilled? Every employee should know, which functions and activities are implemented at MPIA. Not only every colleague should know who is responsible for occupational safety, also the responsible persons should know about their tasks, such that those become a practical reality in the day-to-day work. And hence, the risk for accidents is automatically reduced. Presentation: German Slides: German Questions: German, English
