Abstract: Against the background of vastly changing patterns in the world of employment in recent years, several challenges regarding occupational health and safety have to be faced. This article introduces five components of a strategy for unions to tackle these challenges. The first two components are closely related and demand new and clear regulations and notably more resources to monitor compliance with these. The third component advocates greater (financial) involvement of the employers. Furthermore, the contribution argues for significantly more rights of co-determination for the works council in the field of occupational health and safety. The final component is aimed at cross-linking social insurances – especially the occupational accident insurance and the statutory health insurance – to improve and connect their measures regarding occupational health and safety.
