Posted By ianmilne69 I'm positive that in Germany, you need training that is approved and accepted by their 'workers council'. And, it helps to speak German! Ian

Posted By Steve Clark As i understand it - you need a Degree in Germany, and i also heard as you say that you must be approved before you can practice. Perhaps someone may be able to clarify

Posted By Manny Ben, I answered on the other forum as follows: The German Safety Adviser Qualification, as mentioned previously, is Fachkraft fuer Arbeitssicherheit also known as Sicherheitsfachkraft. They are employed in accordance with the Act Governing Safety Advisers (Arbeitssicherheitsgesetz (ASiG)) and need to meet certain criteria (normally required to hold another proffesional qualification i.e. Meister, Techniker, Ingineur). Once the qualification is achieved, approx 11 weeks study, they will still require recognition by the Trade or Government Accident Insurance Carrier (Berufsgenossenschaft, Unfallkasse). Further info available from www.baua.de or www.dguv.de. There are many agencies who will allow you to sit their safety adviser course (i.e. TüV) but you will still need to convince the Insurance Carrier that you meet the requirements of ASiG and that is where many people fail. Viel Glück Manny
