Occupational health and safety

Upon application, the Faculty provides financial assistance to its subunits for the correction of defects

• that, due to reasons of occupational health or safety, have been objected to in a list of measures or a similar document
• for which the subunit is named as responsible
• for which the Facility and Resources Management / Occupational Health and Safety division does not provide (full) funding.

The amount of subsidy granted by the Faculty depends on the specific circumstances and has to be decided individually. Generally, the subunit bears between 25 % and 50 % of the total gross costs. The application for funding must specify the amount of required funding (as a percentage of the total costs) and must briefly state the reasons for the request. If a different amount of funding is requested, this requires a statement of specific reasons. Applications for less than EUR 500 gross (share Occupational health and safety programme) will not be granted due to the administrative effort involved.

The head of the subunit or the deputy head of the subunit – representing the subunit – must submit an informal application containing a statement of reasons exclusively via e-mail to infrastruktur.fgga@univie.ac.at before commissioning the work and/or before placing an order (exceptions in extremely urgent cases only; please state reasons separately)

Invoicing of approved applications will be completed via the subunit in a timely fashion (allowing the handling within the calendar year). The subunit finances the share of funding approved by the Faculty management in advance. Of the expenses actually incurred, the Dean’s office will refund up to the (maximum) agreed amount of funding to the global budget cost centre of the subunit following the submission of a half-year report at the latest.
