Company description:
The German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the raw materials and chemical industry (BG RCI) is a statutory accident insurance institution. BG RCI insures all companies in the building materials, mining, chemical, leather, paper production and equipment and sugar industries.
The BG RCI has around 36,500 member companies with around 1.6 million insured persons. It paid out just under EUR 1 billion in compensation in 2021. BG RCI was formed in 2010 from the merger of the employers’ liability insurance associations for the mining, chemical, leather, paper, quarrying and sugar industries.
The employers’ liability insurance associations are part of the social safety net. The contributions are paid by the companies alone. In the event of a claim, we assume the employer’s liability under private law for accidents at work, commuting accidents and occupational illnesses (transfer of liability).
As an industrial employers’ liability insurance association, we have a statutory mandate to prevent accidents at work, occupational illnesses and work-related health hazards (prevention). We support companies in all matters relating to occupational health and safety, train insured persons, investigate the causes of accidents and test technical work equipment.
After the occurrence of an accident at work or an occupational illness, insured persons receive comprehensive and competent care. We cover all measures that become necessary for the medical, social or occupational rehabilitation of insured persons. All this according to the principle: “Everything from a single source”.
