Programme of training in safety and health protection for inplant skilled and management personnel

With this training programme, the IAG supports commercial and service companies in the private sector, and also public-sector institutions, in the personal development of skilled and managerial personnel. The focus of the programme is safety and health protection.

The training we offer falls into the following categories:

Initial training of OSH professionals
We train the OSH professionals required under German law for the support and consultancy of enterprises and managerial staff. Training follows a model which is harmonized throughout Germany.

Training of safety officers and specialists
The safety officers and specialists whom we train enhance legal security, prevent operational malfunction and contribute to greater cost-effectiveness.

Implementation of statutory requirements
The focus of these seminars lies upon the practical implementation and application of statutory requirements within plants.

Analysis, evaluation and design of working conditions
The analysis, evaluation and design of safe and healthy working conditions are the key element of modern occupational safety and health. In our practical facilities, we demonstrate the different effects of hazard factors and the scope for influencing them.

Transport and traffic safety
Traffic accidents within industrial buildings, on company sites or on the public highway may result in major damage and high costs. We offer appropriate training in order to avoid this.

Efficacy and cost-effectiveness of OSH measures
Companies are finding it increasingly important to know whether OSH programmes and measures are effective and economically efficient. In our seminars, we teach principles for the analysis and measurement of success.

Co-operation and communication
The ability to communicate and co-operate appropriately is important for the satisfaction of employees and the effectiveness of their work. We offer a comprehensive programme of seminars on this topic.

Health management, health promotion, personal health
Employees are a company's most important asset. It is therefore essential that employees be kept fit, healthy and capable of their work throughout their working lives. In our seminars, we impart the knowledge and skills required for this purpose.

Demographic change
As a consequence of demographic change, older employees will be more numerous in the future, and they will have to remain in employment for longer. The IAG is responding to this need with a series of seminars entitled "demographics consultant".

International/intercultural skills
The world of work is becoming increasingly international. Besides English language courses for OSH experts, we therefore also offer seminars in which the focus lies upon issues such as intercultural skills.
