Profile

The creation and maintenance of healthy workplaces as effective protection and for the prevention of accidents at work, occupational illnesses and work-related health hazards are the foundations of occupational safety at the university.

With the targeted cooperation and advice of the occupational safety specialist, the company doctor, the fire safety officer and the safety officers, contact persons are available to you at the university.

      Please contact the coordinating office if you have any questions about occupational safety.

      accidents at work

      Accident reports

      Accidents (commuting accidents or accidents at work) that result in incapacity to work for more than three days must be reported as soon as possible. Please complete the relevant accident report form and send it to Technical Operations (Accidents involving employees and students). We can also fill out the accident report together with you.

      After a commuting or occupational accident, the free choice of doctor is generally restricted. Insured persons should therefore consult a general practitioner (see here).

      Here you can find an information sheet from the UKBW (Unfallkasse Baden-Württemberg) on correct transportation after an accident at work.

        Accidents and first aid

        Minor injuries

        In the event of minor injuries, please seek out people who are trained in first aid (company first aiders). They will provide first aid and decide on further measures, e.g. a visit to the accident doctor. First aid services are always documented on a registration form , which is forwarded to the Technical Operations Office.

        You can find a current list of company first aiders at Ravensburg-Weingarten University of Applied Sciences in the QM portal at https://qmportal.rwu.de under the search term "Ersthelferliste".

        Major injuries

        In the event of a major injury (severe bleeding) or a sudden threatening illness (heart attack) , the emergency services must be alerted by calling 112 in addition to the company first aiders. Via a landline telephone at Ravensburg-Weingarten University of Applied Sciences , please dial: 0-112

        The dispatcher at the rescue control center will systematically ask you questions about the emergency situation. He will make the necessary arrangements during the call. Only end the call when you are asked to do so.

        At least one person should be sent to the road to instruct the emergency services.

        The Technical Operations Manager, the Rector and the Registrar must also be informed of the accident immediately.
