About Berufsgenossenschaft Holz und Metall

As one of the largest statutory accident insurance institutions, we, the Berufsgenossenschaft Holz und Metall (BGHM), have three central, meaningful tasks: prevention of occupational accidents and occupational diseases, as well as rehabilitation and compensation benefits if something does happen. Our range of services extends from site inspections and on-site consulting in companies, through the qualification and further training of occupational safety officers and entrepreneurs, to medical treatment after an occupational accident. Rehabilitation measures, support for re-entry into the workforce, injury benefits, or pension payments are also part of the BGHM's service portfolio. Nationwide, around 4.8 million people are insured with us – including all employees working in the more than 247,000 companies in the wood and metal sectors, and voluntarily insured entrepreneurs. At the same time, we are committed to securing the existence of our member companies by releasing them from liability in the event of occupational accidents and occupational diseases.
