Phase 1: 2003/2004 - GM-Project labour inspection (TQM-task) * General Director´s Request: Prepare a concept for implementation of GM in the labour inspectorate GM-Definition - labour inspectorate/OSH -> framework-strategy Offer of GM-informations - eg. Infotrail (= intranet, end 2003), GM-Information for multiplicators Status Quo survey about GM – including all interfaces Tools – How to create indicators, GM in checklists, GM in project proposals Good Practice – GM-criteria (what about „good GM?“) Cooperation with selected actual projects – eg. nursing homes, Good Practice, guideline for internal documents, KoLMUS (noise/investigation on female musicians), SHMS -> Results: draft for implementation with five focal points -> Realisation from 2005 on
Phase 2: 2005 - GM-Implemention in labour inspection 1 Trainig for the inspectors GM in LI-basic-training (all new LI) GM-training for managers, teaching LIs, experts, GM-standards for internal training 2 Public relations – Awareness-raising, Marketing Infotrail-Corner/know-how exchange GM-Folder, GM-LI-Logo OSH-Award/GM since 2006: AI-Website including GM 3 Reports / Statistics M/F-data collection (generally and in projects) Annual report with GM-Inputs (eg. cleaning project) 4 Extending the organisations-structure towards GM permanent GM working group (accompanying the realisation) GM-experts in the organisation, contact persons in the local LIs linking multiplicators(managers, quality officers, ) since 2007: GM-network (mailing list, „annual“-meetings) 5 GM-benchmarking, controling GM in LI-strategy GM involved in LIs annual workplans GM reports LI/ZLI benchmarking with other organisations (OSH-strategy) accompanied by the permanent GM working group

first „effects“ (2005) • Mainstream gender into daily work of inspectors • Increasing awareness (supported by checklists) „with whom do I speak“ (W/M), does my advice cover both women and men? Will men and women equally benefit from my advice? • GM lead better focus on OSH problems and improved external efficiency • Mainstream gender into the labour inspectorate by • „Mixed teams“ in the preparation of campaigns and for special inspections • Improving the cooperation and communication between the field service colleagues and the office colleagues • Gender training for LI-managers and OSH-multiplicatorshelped to bring gender experts to most of the LI-projects
