A company's most valuable asset is its employees - in other words, its people. Not only are they crucial to the company and its success, but the economy is also dependent on efficient and healthy employees. Such a valuable asset must be cared for and protected by appropriate (legal) measures. Because employee absences cost a lot of money and time, the protection and health and safety of employees is not only a legal obligation, but also an important economic component. It is a fundamental basis of modern economic life. Measures include, for example, the prevention of occupational accidents, occupational illnesses and health complaints in the workplace.

Employees are also at the center of the activities of the FCOS (Federal Coordination Commission for Occupational Safety). On behalf of the federal government, it defines guidelines that ensure occupational safety in Switzerland. A large number of these exist. These include, for example, 1825 Flammable liquids, 6503 Asbestos or 6508 Involvement of occupational physicians and other occupational safety specialists - ASA. The FCOS guidelines, such as FCOS Guideline 6508, aim to ensure a uniform and, above all, appropriate application of occupational safety regulations. They serve as an aid for employers.

Participants are familiarized with the specific guidelines in a workshop on the subject of EKAS Guideline 6508. For example, they will learn how the EKAS Directive 6508 can be implemented in practice in the company. You will also learn about the 10 points of the safety system in accordance with EKAS Directive 6508. You will also gain the necessary knowledge on topics such as gap analysis and the plan-do-check-act. In an EKAS 6508 training course, it is also possible to get an introduction to project management. The necessary tools are also introduced. EKAS 6508 training is aimed at anyone who has to implement occupational health and safety in their company: Copas, safety assistants, management personnel, SiBe ASGS or QM managers.
