This includes, above all, the Risk assessment which must be drawn up for each individual workstation - and before our colleague assigned there starts work. In any case, the workplace is inspected by the responsible HR consultant and the customer's contact person.

On this basis, the necessary instructions are defined and the required Personal protective equipment defined. At the same time, it is discussed which aptitude tests temporary employees must take before they are allowed to start working here. The FASI often accompanies the personnel consultant during these appointments. This applies in particular to new customers and customers with special requirements.
Stefan Engelmayerwho has filled the position of FASI for more than 12 years, knows the special conditions that employee leasing entails inside out. Over the years, he has visited a great many companies in all sectors and of all sizes. He is also a sought-after contact for the occupational safety officers of client companies.

Or we find a new solution for a known problem" Stefan Engelmayer reports on the importance of the consulting competence of a personnel service provider.
