The Rhineland-Palatinate Accident Insurance Fund 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.

"Around 1.5 million people in Rhineland-Palatinate have statutory accident insurance through the Unfallkasse. Those insured include public sector employees, volunteers, for example in volunteer fire departments, first aiders and household helpers in private households. With 820,000 boys and girls in daycare facilities, schoolchildren and students, schoolchildren's accident insurance is the largest insured group." https://www.ukrlp.de/ueber-uns/

"In the past, prevention work focused primarily on safety-related measures. Today, prevention as defined by the statutory mandate of accident insurance  encompasses the prevention of occupational accidents, occupational diseases and work-related health hazards. It is oriented toward the totality of technical, organizational, behavioral, social, psychological, and occupational health measures, including first aid and workplace health promotion." https://www.ukrlp.de/ueber-uns/praevention/
