The BGW and the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences have joined forces to promote prevention and health promotion at work. We implement our joint mission through information and consulting as well as education and research.

The BGW is the provider of statutory accident insurance for non-governmental institutions in the health and welfare services. A large number of closely interlinked measures are required to ensure healthy, motivated occupational practice. This requires a good structure and a systematic approach within the company. Our aim is to enable working people to work well and healthily throughout their working lives.
Occupational health and safety is a key element in achieving this, as it is a responsible but rewarding task. After all, occupational health and safety makes for success. It prevents unnecessary and serious injuries and illnesses. It reduces the costs of staff absenteeism and disruptions to operational processes. And it increases employee commitment and motivation, thus boosting productivity. Management and executives as well as employees play a key role in operational implementation.
