(October 11, 2020) The Federal Council wants safety and health protection to also apply to construction workers if they act as self-employed entrepreneurs. On October 9, 2020, the state chamber submitted a corresponding draft regulation to the federal government.
Uniform protection for everyone working on construction sites
Accordingly, so-called “entrepreneurs without employees” or “solo self-employed people” will in future also be subject to the same occupational health and safety regulations as employers.
As a reminder: Until now, the occupational safety rules for self-employed people only applied if employees of other employers present on a construction site were at risk. This is how the current one protects Ordinance on safety and health protection on construction sites (Construction Site Ordinance – BaustellV) “Employees” and is aimed primarily at employers or building owners and their safety and health protection coordination (SiGeKo). Therefore, not everyone working on a construction site is protected to the same extent. …..
This will probably soon apply to all consultants, trainers and coaches as soon as they are with the customer! So get digitally smart and protect yourself!
