AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This document is a correction notice (Berichtigung) published in the German Federal Law Gazette (BGBl. I Nr. 44) on February 25, 2026, with an issuance date of February 20, 2026. It rectifies errors in a prior ordinance from BGBl. 2025 I Nr. 337, which amended the Gefahrstoffverordnung (Hazardous Substances Ordinance, GefStoffV) and the Baustellenverordnung (Construction Sites Ordinance, BaustellV). Issued by the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (BMAS), it addresses printing or clerical mistakes in the original amending ordinance without introducing new substantive rules. The GefStoffV regulates the handling, storage, and use of hazardous substances in workplaces to protect workers from health risks like chemical exposure. The BaustellV sets safety standards for construction sites, including risk assessments and protective measures. Corrections like this ensure legal accuracy, preventing misinterpretation that could affect compliance in high-risk industries. The notice provides PDF and ZIP downloads with hash values (e.g., MD5: 0433d040483d0bf1f3dc591b61f76580) for integrity verification. No new obligations or changes arise from this correction; it solely fixes the referenced 2025 publication. Employers and safety officers must review the corrected version via www.recht.bund.de for precise application in occupational safety protocols.
