Posted By Manny 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) 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).
