The employers' liability insurance association BG ETEM addresses an often underestimated safety factor in a current podcast episode "Ganz sicher": leadership behavior during work at heights. The central finding is that time pressure from supervisors measurably increases the accident risk – particularly for critical activities such as work on ladders or scaffolding.

The podcast illustrates how hectic management affects work practice. Instead of mere regulations, organizational factors come into focus: planning, realistic time windows, and conscious team agreements reduce mistakes and falls. This has direct consequences for accident statistics and liability issues in the construction industry.

For construction companies and site managers, the message is clear: safe workflows are not created through pressure, but through structured preparation and a work pace that allows for concentration. BG ETEM thus emphasizes that safety is not solely a matter of equipment, but also of corporate culture.
