Every entrepreneur is obliged to establish operating instructions. They must be in writing. This obligation arises from various laws and regulations such as § 4 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, § 9 (1) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, § 12 (1) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, § 9 of the Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health, § 2 (1) of the Accident Prevention Regulation “Principles of Prevention” (BGV A1) and § 14 of the Ordinance on Hazardous Substances.
Employees must comply with operating instructions as a matter of principle, unless they are recognizably directed against safety and health.
The purpose of risk assessment is to identify and eliminate dangers before they become dangers or health hazards. This assessment is the first step in protecting the safety and health of employees in the workplace.

According to the Occupational Health and Safety Act (ArbSchG), companies, regardless of their size, have a documentation obligation. According to this law, the employer must have records that document the result of the risk assessment. In addition, it must be documented which occupational health and safety measures are carried out and what result was reached in their review.
The third sentence of §3(3) of the BetrSichV stipulates that the risk assessment may only be carried out by competent persons (as defined in §2(5)BetrSichV).
Does this mean that, with immediate effect, the risk assessment may only be carried out by workplace safety specialists (or equivalent qualifications)? Who is then responsible for the correctness of the risk assessment?
According to the Occupational Health and Safety Act and DGUV Regulation 1, the employer is ultimately obliged to ensure the safety and health of employees in the workplace. The most important instrument for implementing this obligation is the risk assessment. The risk assessment can be carried out by the employer himself or by reliable and competent persons who are commissioned separately. An assignment must be made in writing. However, the legal responsibility for the assessment remains with the employer in any case. He is obliged to check that it has been carried out.
