A set of 31 working files that organise the Arbeitsmittelverordnung's duties into open questions, with the statutory text carried verbatim beside each duty.

The Arbeitsmittelverordnung governs how employers in Austria provide, set up, use, inspect and maintain work equipment, and how they protect the employees who work with it. It reaches businesses that put machinery, tools, ladders, scaffolding, lifting gear or other work equipment into service, including construction firms, workshops, production plants, warehouses and facility operators. The 31 working files walk through the duties attached to that equipment, from the general requirements on work equipment and its setup through to the closing provisions on employee protection.

Each working file covers a subject area of the instrument: the safety of work equipment and its condition, the duties on setup and supervision, the protection owed to employees, the requirements on the nature of work equipment, and the references to other regulations. The files are served through a connector inside Claude, and the business answers the open questions from its own records. The statutory text is carried verbatim beside each duty, so the authority's wording stays in view while the business works through the questions.

The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised.

Which businesses does the Arbeitsmittelverordnung apply to?

It applies to employers in Austria who provide work equipment for use at work, including construction firms, workshops, production plants, warehouses and facility operators. The duties attach to the equipment the business puts into service and to the employees who work with it. The working files organise those duties by subject so a business can work through them from its own records.

What does the toolkit contain?

It is a set of 31 working files that organise the instrument's obligations into phases of open questions a business answers from its own records. The statutory text is carried verbatim beside each duty. The files cover the safety of work equipment, setup and supervision, employee protection, the nature of work equipment and the references to other regulations.

How are the sections delivered?

The sections are served through a connector inside Claude. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed. The business works through the open questions in the tool it already uses.

What kind of document comes back at the end?

The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. They record the answers the business gave from its own records. The business decides where in its own file the report is kept.

Does the toolkit tell a business what to do about a specific piece of equipment?

The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised. It sets out the open questions and the statutory text beside each duty. The business answers from its own records and reaches its own conclusions.

Which subjects do the working files cover?

The files cover the safety of work equipment and its condition, the duties on setup and supervision, the protection owed to employees, the requirements on the nature of work equipment and the references to other regulations. Each file treats one subject area of the instrument. The headings name the subject, so a business can find the file that matches its question.

How does the toolkit treat the wording of the law?

The toolkit carries the law's words exactly as the authority wrote them, beside each duty. The statutory text stays in view while the business answers the open questions. The business can compare its own records against the wording the authority published.

Is the toolkit a source of legal advice?

The toolkit carries what the authority wrote, organised, and leaves the assessment to the business and its advisers. It presents the open questions and the statutory text for the business to work through. A business that needs a legal assessment turns to its advisers.

What does a business need before it starts?

The business answers the open questions from its own records, so those records should be at hand. The sections are served through a connector inside Claude, and the business works through them in that tool. The dated compliance report that comes back is kept in the business's own file.

Does the toolkit follow the instrument's own order?

The working files organise the obligations by subject and by phases of open questions. Each file treats one subject area, such as the safety of work equipment or the protection owed to employees. A business can begin with the file that matches the equipment or the duty it is examining.
