The content of our online offer has been compiled with the utmost care and corresponds to the current state of science. BAuA accepts no liability for the correctness, completeness and timeliness of the content.

We do our best to avoid technical problems. However, errors can occur through the digitisation of data. We can not accept any liability for interruption or other disturbances caused by non-error-free files or non-error-structured formats. The same applies to damages caused by computer viruses or by the installation or use of software when calling up or downloading data.

When using different browsers for the World Wide Web and because of different software settings, deviations can occur when the data are displayed. The original material used for the information offer may be requested from the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

Data protection

Your privacy is important to us. Our privacy statement explains which data we collect and when, and how we use it.

Notification

Our online offer contains links to websites of other providers. The Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health does not accept any responsibility for the content of websites reached via these links. We have carefully selected these links and checked the relevant contents at the time of the first link to determine whether a possible civil or criminal liability is covered by them.

Links are, however, always dynamic references. The contents of the linked pages can therefore be modified without our knowledge. A continuous examination of the contents is neither provided nor possible. We expressly dissociate ourselves from all content which may be relevant to criminal or liability law or which violates good morals. For damages resulting from the use or non-use of the websites of other providers, the provider of the page referred to is solely liable.

The information on these Internet pages has been carefully selected and compiled to the best of our knowledge. However, we can not assume any liability for the topicality, correctness or completeness of the information on this website, nor for the provided legal provisions. Laws and regulations are only valid and apply according to their respective current official version, which is published in the relevant announcing bodies. Any legal advice, information or suggestions are not binding, and no legal advice is expressly made.

We kindly ask the users to draw our attention to the illegal or incorrect content of third parties to which a link is maintained in the Internet presence. A message is also requested if your own content is not error-free, not up-to-date or incomplete.
