Every operator has a duty to protect sources of danger – the duty of safety on the road. If the operator does not meet his responsibility, he is liable for damages. Traffic safety obligations are partly concretized by regulations (e.g. accident prevention regulations for commercial enterprises). Road safety obligations apply to many different areas – from the obligation to gritter to playgrounds.
Why do buildings and their outdoor areas have to be inspected regularly during construction and maintenance?
While observing the necessary duty of care, the owner and the landlord are obliged according to § 823 BGB (German Civil Code) to construct and maintain their property in accordance with the applicable DIN, VDE, DVGW and UVV regulations.
The obligation to ensure safety on the road obliges the owner to inspect building structures, protective equipment, technical installations and outdoor facilities at regular intervals so that dangers are recognised and rejected at an early stage.
We support you in minimising risks in this area:
Through educational and advisory discussions
On-site inspections to assess the current status
Inventory data acquisition with photo documentation
Advice on how to remedy possible defects
Playground equipment test according to DIN EN 1176

If you are planning modifications to your equipment, you must check whether you are making any changes to the equipment that will affect safety. You may have to carry out a conformity assessment procedure with CE marking. We check for you whether and which obligations you have to fulfil before and, if necessary, after your modifications.
We would be pleased to advise you on further obligations that you must fulfil as an operator of machines. Please call us or write to us.
Operating instructions, maintenance instructions, assembly instructions etc. of a machine are part of the technical documentation for the user, from the manufacturer’s point of view often referred to as external technical documentation. The operating instructions, maintenance instructions, assembly instructions etc. inform the user about the product and about the correct handling of the product. It is important how you create your technical documentation for the user. Because technical documentation for the user also protects the manufacturer from liability. Ask us, we will be happy to advise you.
Manufacturers in the EU who produce products that require CE marking must comply with the requirements of the relevant EU directives. Manufacturers must carry out the relevant CE conformity assessment procedures and affix a CE marking. Please contact us for further information.
DGUV regulation 3 requires the testing of electrical systems and equipment.
All commercial electrical systems and equipment must be checked for electrical safety at regular intervals.
These inspections and the deadlines to be observed are specified by the trade associations in DGUV Regulation 3.
If you do not observe the deadlines, this can be considered a breach of obligation by the fire insurance company, so that under certain circumstances no insurance benefits are paid in the event of fire.
The testing of portable electrical equipment (e.g. office equipment, electrical tools) has the shortest testing periods (between 6 and 24 months).
We carry out the test for your company according to DGUV regulation 3 and monitor compliance with the test intervals.
- Testing of electrical equipment – DGUV regulation 3
- Testing of electrical machines and installations – DIN EN 60204
The current Industrial Safety Ordinance (BetrSichV) has been in force since 1 June 2015. It comprises general requirements applicable to all work equipment and, in the annexes, special requirements for certain work equipment. Please contact us for further information.
Certain work equipment must be inspected regularly in accordance with the Industrial Safety Regulation. The inspection of work equipment subject to inspection includes Testing and documentation. Please contact us for further information.
