BG BAU health and safety premiums: Subsidies for access equipment and

With the occupational safety premiums from BG BAU, the employers' liability insurance association for the construction industry, you can save up to 50% if you invest in measures that make work safer. Commercial member companies of BG BAU with at least one employee and a BG contribution of 100 euros or more as well as entrepreneurs without employees but with voluntary insurance with BG BAU are eligible to apply. The maximum funding amount per calendar year is based individually on the levy contribution for the previous year's BG requirements. Smaller member companies of the BG have the option of saving up their subsidy amount for an occupational health and safety premium over several years. Funding is available for implemented measures that have not yet been subsidised by BG BAU if the relevant conditions are met. Measures are only subsidised in the year in which they were implemented/purchased and applied for. The invoice date of the current calendar and funding year is decisive.

New: now also non-contributory funding

Because workplaces at height and the lack of or inadequate safety equipment are responsible for many serious accidents at work, BG BAU now also offers its premium package for fall prevention as a non-contributory subsidy for occupational safety premiums. The maximum non-contributory subsidy amount is divided into three levels of 3,000 euros, 5,000 euros and 10,000 euros per calendar year. Each level is assigned successive funding conditions that must be fulfilled or implemented by the company. Here too, a funding rate of up to 50% per measure is possible.

A company can take advantage of both types of funding. Within the framework of non-contributory funding (premium package for fall prevention), occupational safety premiums may be subsidised at a higher rate than in the case of contribution-based funding. When investing in products or measures to prevent falls from a height, it may be worth comparing the two subsidy options. BG BAU lists the details on its website.
