Occupational health and safety
Personal protective equipment, sound barriers or signal barriers ensure assurance in the workplace and prevent illnesses caused by stressful environmental influences. This work equipment protects against sparks, exhaust fumes, noise, vibrations and hazardous substances, for example. They identify danger zones or reduce psychological stress.
When assessing the risks of workplaces for employees with disabilities, the particular risks posed by, for example, sensory impairments or mobility restrictions must be taken into account.
