In line with our corporate vision of becoming the global partner for a safe world, we are especially committed to occupational health and safety. It is our declared aim to avoid or reduce accidents at work as far as possible, and to eliminate potential hazards. An internal network of occupational safety experts implements the individual management systems to that end on a site-specific basis. Encouragingly, the figures relating to the severity of accidents continue to decrease. Specifically, we aim to reduce our accident rate by 30 percent relative to 2018 by 2025. DEKRA has also joined the "Vision Zero" campaign. The global campaign aims to avoid occupational accidents and illnesses by taking preventive measures. In accordance with the "7 Golden Rules" of the "Vision Zero" campaign, we ensure safe and healthy working conditions at DEKRA. Potential risks to the health and safety of our employees are systematically identified, and mitigated by means of suitable measures.

In corporate health management, site-specific programs are implemented as a primary measure. These include health courses and advice on preventive measures, stress management training, sports events, and health action days. We regularly reach out to local employees with our nutrition advice tour for example. In the fall, we offer flu vaccinations. Ergonomic training at the workplace helps to combat tension and back problems. A running club, gymnastics and yoga classes are also available. And because cycling is not only good for the environment but for one's health too, DEKRA employees can lease bicycles and e-bikes at affordable rates through the "Job-Rad" program. To maintain the work-life balance – which is also a crucial factor with regard to health – we offer our employees part-time working models, mobile working, and custom solutions tailored to specific needs.
