Employee Protection & Health

Welcome - to the staff unit for employee protection and health!

We provide you with information on the subject of employee protection and health on the following pages.

The tasks of the staff unit, which is assigned to the rectorate, exist primarily on the basis of the legal requirements of the Employee Protection Act (ASchG).

The employee protection and health care of all BOKU employees is a major concern of the employer / rectorate.
