Occupational safety trainings are assessed in consultation with experts in occupational safety and ergonomics. The seminar cur- riculum is drawn up in close collaboration with safety specialists, the Health Management department and the BMW Group Acad- emy. Continuous training is provided for safety specialists based on the current state of the art as well as emerging specialist ar- eas. Occupational health and safety management The BMW Group evaluates its international occupational health and safety strategy on a regular basis, making adjustments as needed. Suitable measures are developed, implemented and re- viewed based on the defined vision. The BMW Group follows the globally recognised ISO 45001 standard for occupational health and safety. Occupational health and safety management sys- tems are in place at all production sites and certified in accord- ance with this standard or OHRIS*, which is based on ISO 45001. This means that 100% of BMW Group employees, other BMW Group employees and temporary agency workers in the BMW Group work at a location that has an occupational health and safety management system. Employer and employee repre- sentatives work together at nearly all locations to bring about a continuous improvement in health and safety standards. The BMW Group has established standards on various occupa- tional safety topics to guide the implementation of safety measures. Regular assessments of methods and tools used in occupational health and safety ensure that internal requirements are improved on a continuous basis. Employee representatives are actively involved in this process and, where appropriate, with representatives for employees with severe disabilities and the HR department. The BMW Group conducts annual internal au- dits to ensure the quality of its processes. These audits verify compliance with occupational health and safety standards, and ensure that legal health and safety requirements are complied with. Audits and certifications of sites are conducted by external service providers. All necessary audits were again successfully carried out in 2024. The outcomes and the resulting measures are made available to all BMW Group sites. This is done to en- sure consistently high safety standards across the BMW Group.

The department responsible for placing the order monitors compli- ance with the occupational health and safety regulations, sup- ported by the relevant occupational health and safety depart- ment.
