Document background
The Health Risk Assessment Form is a critical document required under German occupational safety laws and EU regulations for evaluating and documenting potential health risks in professional environments. It is mandatory for employers to conduct regular health risk assessments in accordance with the Arbeitsschutzgesetz (ArbSchG) and related regulations. This document is utilized when new employees join the organization, when job roles change significantly, or during regular periodic assessments. The form encompasses various aspects including physical and psychological risk factors, workplace ergonomics, exposure to hazardous substances, and general health considerations. It must be completed in compliance with GDPR requirements for handling sensitive health data and requires input from both medical professionals and workplace safety experts.
