The absturzrisiko.ch association has been the sponsor since August 2014. The association was founded by the Swiss Mountain Guides Association (SBV) and the Schweizerischer Höhenarbeiten und Rigging Verband (SHRV) to promote the absturzrisiko.ch specialist group and PFPE training. Suva is involved with an advisory mandate.
For decades, it has been a matter of course for machine operators of all kinds, for example, to attend training courses on the safe and efficient operation of their equipment.
This was not yet the case when it came to handling PPE against falls from a height – we still had a lot of room for improvement here.
On the initiative of Bernhard von Mühlenen, a small expert working group was set up in mid-2009 to tackle the issue – this became, among other things, www.absturzrisiko.ch.
The basic funding for this project was provided by Suva.
