However, all these injuries are due to preventablefactors, and they can be eliminated by the implementation of the already existing methods,which are outlined in the Occupational Health and Safety (OSH) guidelines (Alli 2018).Germany employs a dual structure in the maintenance of safety and health atworkplaces, and includes state safety and health provision and autonomous accidentinsurance institutes. Enactment of the legislations and promotion of the rules and regulationsof the state boards are done by the state at both the federal and land levels. The accidentinsurance institutes after the examination of needs and an approval from federal and landgovernment implement their own accident prevention policies. The state officials and theinsurance institutes also oversee the business and provide advice whenever needed. Thegovernment (federal ad land) and accident insurance institutes developed the Joint GermanHealth and Safety Strategy (GDA) to maintain and improve the safety and health of workersthrough health and safety policies (Osha.europa.eu 2018).1.Accessing the relevant sources of information and communicating the results with the individuals and parties:Information regarding the National Legislation workplace health and safety can be foundon the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, which provides the key directives,guidelines and standards associated with the legislation.
