The businesses it reaches
The Arbeitsstättenverordnung, BGBl. II Nr. 368/1998, zuletzt geändert durch BGBl. II Nr. 324/2014, governs the safety and health protection of employees at work premises. It reaches employers of every size in Austria, including office-based businesses, retail and online sellers with warehouses, hospitality operators, workshops, and waste producers with collection or sorting sites. It also concerns those who plan, build, or adapt work premises, because planning duties attach before a site is occupied.
The toolkit is a set of 21 working files that organise this 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 employee protection and safety duties, inspection obligations, information duties, planning duties, fire protection, and requirements for work premises and work protection. Sections are served through a connector inside Claude; nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed.
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.

Questions and answers
Which businesses have to apply the Arbeitsstättenverordnung?
The instrument reaches employers in Austria who provide work premises, including offices, shops, warehouses, hospitality venues, workshops, and waste handling sites. Planning and construction parties also carry duties when premises are designed or adapted. A business answers the open questions from its own records to see which duties apply to its site.
How are the 21 working files organised?
Each numbered working file takes a subject area of the instrument and turns its duties into phases of open questions. The questions are answered from the business's own records, and the statutory text sits beside each duty. The files cover employee protection, safety duties, inspection, information, planning, fire protection, and premises requirements.
Do I need to download or install anything to use the toolkit?
No. The sections are served through a connector inside Claude, so the working files are reached in the conversation itself. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed on the business's systems.
What does a business receive at the end of the questions?
The documents that come back are dated compliance reports. The business keeps them in its own file as a record of the answers it gave from its own records. The reports carry what the authority wrote, organised by subject.
Does the toolkit tell a business what to do about a safety problem?
The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective. It carries the statutory text beside each duty and organises the open questions a business answers from its own records. Decisions about measures remain with the business and its responsible persons.
Which subjects do the working files cover?
The files address employee protection, safety duties, inspection obligations, information duties, planning duties, fire protection, and requirements for work premises and work protection. Each file takes one subject area and sets out its open questions. The statutory text is reproduced beside each duty so the wording can be checked directly.
How does the toolkit handle the inspection duties under the instrument?
One working file is devoted to inspection obligations, setting out the open questions a business answers from its own records about what is inspected and when. The statutory text for those duties is carried beside the questions. The resulting dated compliance report records the answers the business gave.
Is the toolkit suitable for a small business with one site?
The instrument applies to employers regardless of size, so a small business with a single site answers the same open questions from its own records. The working files let the business work through the subjects that concern its premises. The dated compliance report then stays in its own file.
What role does fire protection play in the working files?
Fire protection is treated in its own working files, which set out the open questions on the subject for the business to answer from its own records. The statutory text for those duties is carried beside the questions. The business can then keep the dated compliance report with its other documents.
Does the toolkit replace legal advice or the authority's own guidance?
The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised. It sets out open questions and the statutory text beside each duty. A business that needs a legal assessment of its situation turns to its advisers or the authority.
