Excursion IB – SAFEWORKSHOP AT MERCEDES BENZ

Friday, 12.09.2025, starting at 1:00 pm

Return time: 5.30 pm

Meeting and Return point: Tübingen t.b.d.

Occupational safety: a huge topic in many companies, but also a difficult one to communicate. Even if rules of conduct for employees are regularly repeated in training courses, they often remain abstract in the end. This makes it difficult to initiate sustainable changes in behavior. The Mercedes-Benz plant in Sindelfingen therefore decided to break new ground in communicating the topic of occupational safety - with an interactive exhibition.
A room that was developed by the Sindelfingen occupational safety department and has since been adopted at several German locations. Here, the topic of “occupational health and safety with all senses” can be experienced.
