Standards institutes offer "stakeholders" in standardization a forum for the development of standards in a consensus-oriented process. The occupational safety and health lobby is one of these stakeholders. DIN Presidial Decision 14/2012 for example designates KAN as the institution through which the consolidated position of the occupational safety and health lobby is presented to standardization.
Who, though, is the occupational safety and health lobby? The answer can be found in KAN's organizational structure:
