Swico industry solution

General information

Occupational health and safety is required by law. An efficient occupational health and safety management system also offers clear economic and social benefits:

• Healthy employees and safe working conditions are essential for quality, performance and motivation. And motivation, as we know, boosts productivity.
• Accidents cause operational disruption and follow-on costs that burden a company. A professional occupational health and safety management system can minimise these costs.
• Companies that care about and invest in their employees’ health are generally rated favourably on relevant platforms, making it easier for them to recruit qualified staff.

• Compliance with the FCOS Guideline 6508 (in German)  
• Reducing the workload
• Creating a straightforward solution that companies can implement quickly, either as a standalone solution or by integrating it into an existing quality management system (QMS)
• Reducing health-related absences and stabilising insurance costs

Benefits of the industry solution

Legal certainty
Implementing the Swico industry solution ensures that employees are protected. The company complies with the legal requirements of FCOS Guideline 6508 and, therefore, with the Labour Act and the Accident Prevention Ordinance (VUV) concerning occupational health and safety. The Swico industry solution is certified by the Federal Coordination Commission for Occupational Safety (FCOS) FCOS-certified . Companies that fully implement an industry solution approved and certified by FCOS in their operations are recognised as meeting the statutory occupational health and safety requirements.
