Safety expert (SFK)

Employees in healthcare facilities are exposed to a number of risks – infectious diseases, hazardous working materials or blood can pose a threat to the nursing/cleaning staff as well as doctors. The job of preventive services such as the safety officer is the comprehensive counseling of the employer so as to minimize these kinds of risks.
You don’t have the time or manpower? TÜV AUSTRIA operates its own technical safety center. Our trained and experienced safety experts look after a large number of hospitals, rehabilitation centers as well as various rescue and ambulance services in the interests of occupational health and safety.
