BVS Safety Training 2025: Safety first – Our training gets to the point!

Our latest BVS safety training course was all about a safe, responsible and well-organized workplace – from CE-marked materials to the right way to behave in an emergency. Here is an overview of the most important content:

• CE and TÜV tested – safe right from the start:
  All materials used, such as shelving and lifting trolleys, bear the CE mark and are TÜV tested – this is the basis for safe working on the European market.

• Electronic work equipment and maintenance:
  Whether electronic tools, fans or other devices – they must be checked regularly by the maintenance department. This is the only way to ensure that all work equipment is working properly and that there is no danger from defective devices.

• Ergonomics at the workplace:
  Back-friendly working is not a luxury, but a standard: ergonomic chairs and desks support health and prevent long-term damage.

• Fire precautions – being prepared is everything:
  Signs point the way, fire extinguishers are clearly visible. Small fires may be extinguished by trained employees themselves (depending on the situation) – different extinguishers are used depending on the type of fire:
  CO2 extinguisher (e.g. in the canteen or server room) – not suitable for use on people
  Foam extinguisher – suitable for fires involving people

• Assembly point and fire department:
  In the event of a fire, the team meets at the assembly point, organized by department. Here, completeness is checked and the fire department must be briefed by designated colleagues.

• Responsible working:
  Safety starts with each individual: Damage and defects must be reported. Anyone who does not have a driver’s license must inform the manager.

• Protective clothing and behavior with hazardous substances:
  Hearing protection is mandatory when stud welding or when there are loud bangs! Safety goggles must also be worn when welding. Caution is also required when handling hazardous substances.

• Maintenance and hazardous substance management:
  Maintenance has an overview of the hazardous substances used and their data sheets. The hazardous substances are stored safely in metal cabinets with labeling. The same applies here: only use what has been tested and documented.

• First aid – we act together:
  In the event of an injury, never drive to the doctor or hospital alone! Three people drive: the driver, the helper and the injured person (sitting in the back).
  Ambulance: When the ambulance arrives, one person stands by the road and gives the emergency services clear information, a second person stands by the entrance and shows the way.
  Do not forget: Injuries must be entered in the injury log – this is the basis for reporting them to the employers’ liability insurance association (BG). The team leader and HR must also be informed.

Conclusion: Safe working is teamwork – with clear rules, tested materials and a watchful eye for the environment. After all, our workplace will only remain productive and safe if everyone pulls together.
