health and safety

The health and safety system at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences encompasses all measures necessary to protect against workplace accidents, occupational diseases, and work-related health hazards. Ergonomics and health promotion, as well as measures for fire safety, emergency response, radiation protection, and disaster preparedness, are sub-areas of the health and safety system.

The organization of occupational safety is closely linked to environmental protection; which is why the Occupational Safety and Environmental Protection Committee (AUSA) was established, where university administration and specialists—such as the occupational physician, occupational safety specialist, safety officers, first responders, fire safety assistants, etc.—collaborate on workplace organization.

Compliance with statutory and internal university regulations is an essential component of health and safety management. Through workplace inspections, fire prevention inspections, and audits, guidance and oversight are provided to ensure occupational safety and environmental protection at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences.

The university’s internal regulations on occupational safety and environmental protection are available on the University Information Portal (HIP) . In addition, further information, documents, and training templates can be found on the university’s of the university.
