Our highlights

Commission for Occupational Health and Safety and Standardisation (KAN)

We consolidate the interests from an occupational safety perspective and incorporate them as statements into ongoing and planned standardisation projects. We are not a standardisation body; our decisions regarding occupational safety and standardisation are recommendations based on broad consensus among all parties involved.
