Bus support
The occupational medical and safety - related care ( BuS care ) is a legally prescribed measure to avoid accidents at work and work-related illnesses.
The BuS support was introduced with the accident prevention regulation BGV A2 and replaced the previous safety -related support according to BGV A6 (previously VBG 122) and occupational health care according to BGV A7 (previously VBG 123) .
The accident prevention regulation DGUV regulation 2 replaces the previous BGV A2 with effect from January 1, 2011. DGUV regulation 2 forms the first uniform regulation for the specification of the Occupational Safety Act, ASiG for short, for professional associations and public accident insurance institutions. Regulation 2 contains the tasks associated with safety-related and occupational medical care. In addition, different support models are listed between which an entrepreneur can choose.
Possible forms of care according to DGUV regulation 2 are:
- Regular care: Regular care is mandatory for companies with more than 50 employees. The regular support for companies with more than 10 employees now consists of two modules, basic support and company-specific support. Fixed operating times are prescribed for basic support. These depend on the operating mode. The employer distributes the planned tasks and joint working times to the company doctor and the occupational safety specialist in a way that makes sense for his company. However, none of the parties involved should take on less than 20 percent of the effort. The employer determines the company-specific part of the support on the basis of the catalog of services in Appendix 4 of DGUV regulation 2. He assesses which tasks beyond the basic support arise in his company. Company-specific care also includes preventive medical checkups.
- Regular support for companies with up to 10 employees (or up to 20 part-time employees): The regular support for small businesses can also be referred to as basic support and event-related support. There are no fixed minimum working hours for company doctors (BA) and occupational safety specialists (SiFa) .
- Alternative support: Alternative support is an alternative, needs-based support with training for the entrepreneur or a responsible person to implement the guidelines independently. This form of care is an alternative to regular care for certain industries and regions, for example doctors, pharmacists and hairdressers who employ up to and including 50 people. The alternative care was evaluated under the name guideline concept 2002-2005.
