What does the topic mean?
Occupational safety experts assume that protective devices are temporarily or permanently manipulated on one in four machines. Every year, thousands of accidents at work occur due to the manipulation of a protective device.
The topic of “tolerating manipulation” is of great importance for occupational safety. It refers to how people deal with safety devices that serve as protection against hazards. This manipulation and the associated tolerance can cause many accidents at work and endanger the lives of oneself and others and have a lasting negative impact.
