A further requirement is the completion of a course leading to a qualification in occupational safety, which is offered, amongst others, by accident insurance providers.
The frequency of visits depends on various factors, such as the size of the company, the sector and the specific health and safety requirements. As a rule, regular visits are arranged to review the safety measures and adjust them where necessary.
