Safe working starts with clean air
Discover the legal requirements for your business
Ventilation systems play a central role in health, safety and energy efficiency in buildings. Did you know that, since October 2024, companies have been required to have their ventilation systems inspected by the labour inspectorate in accordance with Section 13 of the Workplace Ordinance? We can support you with a professional inspection to ensure the operational safety of your ventilation system.
New legal requirements for inspection
Since October 2024, the labour inspectorate has been checking the operational safety of ventilation systems in accordance with Section 13 of the Workplace Ordinance (AStV). This legal regulation serves to protect the health and safety of all persons in these rooms. An annual maintenance contract alone is not sufficient. Many companies mistakenly assume that an annual maintenance contract meets the legal requirements. However, this is not the case. Only an annual inspection of your ventilation system to ensure operational safety can guarantee your company’s insurance cover. If no defects are found during the inspection, you will receive a certificate confirming the operational safety of your ventilation system. In this case, cleaning your ventilation system is not necessary, which can lead to significant cost savings.

When is ventilation pipe cleaning necessary?
If defects are found during the operational safety inspection of your ventilation system, these defects will be rectified by comprehensive ventilation duct cleaning. This is important because dirty ventilation systems significantly impair air quality, which is particularly problematic for allergy sufferers and people with respiratory diseases. Saubermacher Outsourcing’s ventilation duct cleaning removes dust, dirt, bacteria and mould that accumulate in ventilation systems. Cleaning ensures fresh air and a better indoor climate while increasing the efficiency of your ventilation system.
