Procedure details
Description
Illnesses that have arisen in insured persons covered by statutory accident insurance as a result of harmful effects during an insured activity can be recognized as occupational diseases. What constitutes an occupational disease is determined by the Federal Government by statutory order (Ordinance on Occupational Diseases). The accident insurance institution is responsible for the occupational disease assessment procedure.
In Bavaria, the statutory accident insurance institutions are obliged to involve the occupational health service in the occupational disease assessment procedure if they intend to reject an occupational disease. The occupational physician is independent in his assessment and thus contributes to objective decision-making and professional quality assurance.
