Safety officers (SiBe) support and advise management and employees on issues relating to occupational health and safety. They take protective measures to ensure that occupational accidents and illnesses as well as other health impairments are avoided in their area of responsibility. In this way, they contribute to the health of their colleagues and also make a significant contribution to increasing productivity in companies, reducing social security costs and promoting the Swiss economy in the long term.
Further training opportunities
Providers of SiBe basic courses usually also offer additional or in-depth courses, enabling safety officers to expand their skills and abilities and keep them up to date. This is an important aspect in the rapidly changing world of work.
As a safety officer, you have the opportunity to train as an ASGS safety assistant within a few days. In this further training course, you will learn how occupational safety and health protection can be organized in the company and how accidents can be reduced as a result. You will receive a certificate after successfully completing the course.
With appropriate professional experience, you can also take the professional examination to become a specialist in occupational safety and health protection (ASGS), which will enable you to obtain a federal certificate.
