Mission & Interests
Goals: Founded in 1994, the Commission for Occupational Health and Safety and Standardization (Kommission Arbeitsschutz und Normung, KAN) has the purpose of observing the standardization process and ensuring that standards makers devote sufficient attention to the needs of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). KAN is a project of the Verein zur Förderung der Arbeitssicherheit in Europa e.V. (VFA) .
The OHS interests of various institutions – the social partners, the German State, the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) and DIN (members of KAN) – are collectively represented in opinions on current and planned standardization projects. KAN itself is not a standardization body; its resolutions take the form of recommendations based on the broadest possible consensus of all institutions involved in OHS.
