Office of Occupational Health and Safety, Animal Welfare and Environmental Protection
Our primary objectives are to ensure sustainable health protection for employees and students by creating hazard-free or low-hazard working conditions and to ensure environmentally friendly, resource-saving and economical waste disposal. Undesirable developments and problems in general occupational safety and in the handling of biological, chemical and radioactive substances should be recognised, stopped or avoided at an early stage.
Scientific institutions such as the University of Würzburg are particularly committed to animal welfare. The animal welfare officers based in our staff unit ensure the development and maintenance of uniform — high — quality targets within the framework of the applicable animal welfare legislation, which must do justice to both the protection of animals and scientific standardisation in the keeping and examination of animals.
In dialogue with employees at all hierarchical levels, in dialogue with the authorised persons and through staff training and further training, we want to persuade those responsible and all employees to see the observance of and compliance with protection targets and protective measures, laid down in the various standards of occupational safety, animal welfare and environmental protection, in their own interests as a voluntary achievement and no longer as an onerous compulsory exercise.
Within the scope of the tasks assigned to us, we offer help and relief, especially for those responsible on site, so that research and teaching, among other things, can run smoothly and undisturbed. Take advantage of the expertise that has been bundled over many years in the Occupational Safety, Health, Animal Welfare and Environmental Protection Unit.
