Employees spend a lot of time in their life at workplaces. This can have effects on their health: they might get sick from their work or have an accident at work. The goal of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is to prevent this and protect employees effectively, no matter their age.

Are you an employee with complaints about working conditions? 

Are you an employer with questions about implementing safety and health measures in your company? 

Contact the local Labour Inspectorate. We are happy to help you – for free!

Which Labour Inspectorate you should contact depends on the location of your workplace or construction site. Figure 1 shows an overview of labour inspectorates across Austria.
