Preliminary remarks

The so called "Empfehlungen Gefährdungsermittlung der Unfallversicherungsträger nach der Gefahrstoffverordnung" (Recommendations of the German Social Accident Insurance Institutions for a chemical safety assessment in accordance with the Hazardous Substances Ordinance) are elaborated by:

  • The German "Unfallversicherungsträger" (Social Accident Insurance Institutions),

  • The "Institut für Arbeitsschutz der Deutschen Gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung" (Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the German Social Accident Insurance),

  • The "Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin" (Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health),

  • And where applicable, further test bodies, for example those of the German regional authorities.

"Empfehlungen Gefährdungsermittlung der Unfallversicherungsträger nach der Gefahrstoffverordnung" (EGU) have the purpose of helping companies in conducting the parts of the risk assessment that deal with tasks involving hazardous substances. They form part of the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) body of rules and regulations and are listed as "DGUV Information" under order number 213-701 ff.

The EGU "Flour dust in bakeries" were developed by the "Berufsgenossenschaft Nahrungsmittel und Gastgewerbe" (German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the foodstuffs and catering industry) in Mannheim and the leading industrial medical inspector of the Saarland.
