    Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung (DGUV) - Protection and Safety at the Workplace

    The Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung (DGUV) is the umbrella organization of the commercial employers' liability insurance associations and the public accident insurance providers in Germany. The association is based in Berlin and has another office in Sankt Augustin. The DGUV represents the common interests of its members and promotes their tasks for the benefit of the insured and the companies.

    Main Tasks and Services

    The DGUV focuses on three central tasks:

    • Prevention: The goal is to prevent workplace accidents, occupational diseases, and work-related health hazards. This also includes measures to ensure effective first aid in the workplace[1][4].
    • Rehabilitation: The restoration of health and work capacity through comprehensive medical care and professional as well as social reintegration into society[1].
    • Compensation: The DGUV provides injury benefits or, if applicable, pension benefits for those affected[1].

    Mission and Values

    The mission of the DGUV is to represent the statutory accident insurance before national and international institutions and to promote the interests of its members. The association places great importance on safety and health protection at the workplace to ensure a safe working environment for all insured individuals[1][3].

    Sustainability Goals and Initiatives

    The DGUV is committed to sustainable prevention measures to improve the safety and health of employees in the long term. By creating and disseminating DGUV regulations and rules, a uniform regulatory framework for occupational health and safety is established[3][5]. These regulations are crucial for effective health protection and safety at the workplace and apply to all member companies as well as foreign companies and those with more than 20 employees[5].

    Current Developments

    The DGUV remains active in the development and implementation of new safety standards and provides support in the implementation of DGUV regulations. Through regular publications and information, the association keeps the public informed about current developments in the field of occupational health and safety[3][4].
