The current coronavirus pandemic poses major challenges for many companies. "What needs to be observed on construction or assembly sites?", "What measures need to be taken in dental laboratories or laundries?" are just some of the questions that those responsible in the member companies of the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the energy, textile, electrical and media products industries (BG ETEM) are currently asking themselves.
The BG ETEM has set up a hotline to provide rapid assistance. By calling 0221 3778-7777, BG ETEM prevention experts will provide advice and answer questions on health and safety in relation to the pandemic. The hotline is available from 09:00 to 17:00.
