The Landwirtschaftliche Berufsgenossenschaft (LBG) can use all suitable means to counteract occupational hazards that could lead to the development, recurrence or aggravation of an occupational disease with preventive individual measures, so-called individual prevention.

If you have health problems as a result of your work that could become an occupational disease or if you already have an occupational disease and notice an aggravation, you may be entitled to individual prevention measures from the LBG.

The aim of individual prevention measures is to enable you to continue your previous activities at work in a suitable manner without this leading to a further deterioration of your health.

The individual preventive measures are developed and offered to you by LBG on the basis of your illness and taking into account the working conditions at your workplace.

Depending on the occupational hazards and health complaints, these may include

• technical measures at the workplace, such as the installation of technical extraction equipment or structural changes
• organizational measures at the workplace, such as the reorganization of work processes, the transfer of other activities or the temporal limitation of hazardous activities
• Optimization of protective measures, such as breathing masks, protective gloves or ear muffs
• Health education seminars, such as a skin protection seminar or back training course, to build up skills in hazardous activities with outpatient or inpatient measures
• intensive, personal consultations, such as a consultation as part of an occupational disease consultation or activity-related support or on-site consultation with the involvement of the company doctor
• medical treatment measures, such as a treatment order or the assumption of costs for special therapies
