Earning a doctorate with applied research

Ute Reetmeyer

leads the Workplace Safety, Health and Environmental Protection Team

I understand “go” – this year‘s theme – above all in the sense of “moving forward”. It is extremely important for the university to move with the times and to develop further, because as soon as you stand still, you are already obsolete. This also applies to my activities. My team and I ensure that current legal requirements for occupational safety, health and environmental protection are implemented. To this end, we help and advise people at all levels of the university. To make work at the university simpler and, above all, more transparent, we are currently setting up an occupational health and safety and environmental protection management system (AGUM) on behalf of the university administration. In it, we provide information, tools, task descriptions and contacts. We want to take the university a step further, provide assistance and improve transparency. On its way to new goals, the university must comply with legal requirements and ensure that employees are protected. Paying attention to this and advising and supporting the members of the university in this is one of my tasks and is also important to me personally.
