Environmental law, occupational safety and health law

Commercial activities are based on the observance of the respective regulations, whereas especially the ‘environmental law’ for many companies is unclear and complex. Did you know for example, that not authorised facilities or machines with accidents at work can lead to convictions and that insurances do not have to keep to their indemnifications?

Especially the new criminal law for corporations and enterprises with fines up to € 1.800.000,- challenges organisations to know their appropriate regulations and to realise them internally. This primarily concerns the observance of legal authorisations and of all other general regulations like directives and regulations from the EU, federal states as well as agreements under private law.

Additionally, all contracts, requirements from insurances etc. have to be considered and their observance has to be assured. Many companies profess themselves unable to deal with these requirements. Here, we can provide useful assistance.

Due to the combination of technicians, natural scientists and legal experts at KEC we can offer our customers legal support and technical interpretation and we can work out solutions together with our customers.
