Security through clear planning and coordination

"Sicherheit ist kein Zufall, sondern das Ergebnis sorgfältiger Planung und Koordination."
"Safety is not by chance, but the result of careful planning and coordination."

The focus is on overarching occupational safety, our SiGeKo service includes monitoring and controlling all occupational safety measures to ensure that no employer poses a hazard to another. We are committed to ensuring that all parties understand and comply with legal requirements to guarantee a safe and healthy workplace.

Occupational safety during assembly, operation, and dismantling

Information for organisers

In accordance with the DGUV Regulation 17/18 (Accident prevention regulation for event and production venues for stages) and the Health and Safety at Work Act The coordination of occupational safety and health measures is not just recommended but prescribed as soon as two or more employers meet on a production site.

This applies in particular to events where stagehands are employed through temporary work agencies. In such cases, the stagehand is regarded as a 100%iger employee of the organiser.

Thus, the responsibility for the implementation of the Workplace Ordinance (ArbStättV) and the Industrial Safety Ordinance (BetrSichV) lies with the organiser.

Legal requirements

The setup and dismantling phase of an event is legally considered construction work and is therefore subject to the construction site regulations. According to §3 of the Construction Site Ordinance, the organiser is obliged to appoint a coordinator for safety and health protection.

Planning phase 

For your event, we will create:

  • Site regulations (Terms and Conditions of Event)
  • Site notice (Information and warning signs)
  • Planning of particularly dangerous work

Advice before and during the organisation of the event

We help you to identify potential risks and plan suitable measures for risk mitigation and employee protection.
