(DEU) Setting Up German Employers' Liability Insurance Association Reporting

To set up for employers' liability Insurance Reporting in Germany, use the Case Officer Table DEU (HS_LOC_CASEOFF_GER), Social Insurance Unit (SI_UNIT_GER), Correct. Actions Table DEU (HS_CORRECT_ACT_GER), Disease Class Table DEU (HS_DIS_CLASS_GER), Prevent. Actions Table - GER (HS_PREVENT_ACT_GER), Unsafe Item Table DEU (HS_UNSAFE_ITEM_GER), Work Area Class Table DEU (HS_WA_CLS_TBL_GER), Work Area Table DEU (HS_WA_TBL_GER), Work Area Category Table DEU (HS_WA_CTG_TBL_GER), and Coop Society Data (HS_COOP_SOC_GER) components.

This section discusses how to set up German employers' liability insurance association reporting.

Note: You establish the codes that are defined by the employer's liability insurance association for use in tracking and reporting health and safety incidents. Be sure to use industry-specific codes that are approved by the employer's liability insurance association.
