OHRIS

The Bavarian Ministry of Labour has accordingly developed an “Occupational Health and Risk Management System” (OHRIS) that is based on the conceptual approach adopted in the Bavarian Environmental Pact.

Its prime aim, however, is to satisfy the demand for a continual improvement in the protection of the health and safety of employees and of surrounding communities by reducing the appearance of work related accidents and occupational diseases. As that also results in a reduction of interruptions to industrial processes and a consequent reduction of the operating costs, this is seen as a contribution to raising the competitiveness of Germany as an industrial location.
