About Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin (BAuA)

Research for work and health – the claim of the BAuA sums up what we, as one of the central institutions for occupational safety and health in Germany, want to achieve: to contribute to the design of a humane, healthy, and safe world of work! Our vision of occupational and health protection sees good work as a central component of a fulfilled and satisfied life – we contribute through our work to protecting employees from hazards such as psychological stress, external influences, and infectious diseases, and to overcoming new challenges arising from technical progress in occupational safety. To achieve this, we work in an interdisciplinary environment at BAuA. Psychologists, IT professionals, chemists, biologists, doctors, museum specialists, and administrative experts, among others, are involved here – all from different perspectives, always with a common commitment: good and healthy work. We do not engage in "ivory tower science": we actively contribute our research findings to politics, legislation, and practice. In addition to work in research and development, policy advice, sovereign tasks, and communication are therefore important components of our work. With the DASA, Germany's largest exhibition on the world of work, we ensure that our topics are also tangible and experienceable for broad target groups. Our approximately 750 employees at the Dortmund, Berlin, and Dresden locations not only work with the certainty of engaging in a good cause, but they also benefit from our expertise in occupational safety and health, e.g. through our dedicated occupational health management, flexible working hours, a good, team-oriented climate, commitment to sustainability, and a high degree of compatibility between family and career. We look forward to your comments on our contributions. Please note our netiquette: www.baua.de/netiquette
