Berufsgenossenschaft Rohstoffe und chemische Industrie (BG RCI)

The BG RCI is a statutory accident insurance provider and part of the German social insurance system. It was established in 2010 through the merger of several professional associations and is responsible for about 37,000 member companies with around 1.6 million employees in the sectors of mining, building materials – stones – earths, chemical industry, leather industry, paper production, and equipment as well as sugar[1][3].

The BG RCI is committed to the prevention strategy "VISION ZERO. Zero accidents – healthy work!" This goal aims to create a working environment in which no one is injured, killed, or seriously ill at work[1]. The BG RCI supports companies in implementing effective occupational safety measures to increase productivity and quality[2].

The BG RCI offers comprehensive advice and support on occupational health and safety issues. It assists companies in the prevention of workplace accidents and occupational diseases as well as in rehabilitation and compensation in case of damage[3]. Additionally, it provides special offers for start-ups to ensure that new companies comply with the necessary safety standards from the outset[2].

The BG RCI is committed to a sustainable improvement in occupational safety. It promotes the implementation of effective occupational safety management systems to improve working conditions and legal certainty[2]. Furthermore, it informs about current legal changes, such as the new hazardous substances regulation, to prepare companies for the latest requirements[5].

The BG RCI offers an insured portal that enables paperless communication. Insured individuals can view documents, answer inquiries, and submit travel expense requests there[4]. This portal supports the digital transformation of services and facilitates access to important information.

The BG RCI is also socially engaged by raising awareness of important issues such as voluntary insurance coverage and gender-based violence[5]. With the election of Claudia Hollinger as Deputy Managing Director, the company is focusing on future-oriented leadership[5].
