title: [Executive agencies for occupational law and their contribution to work safety].
abstract: The legislation and its execution in the field of work safety is still characterized today by a dualism between the sickness and accident insurance laws (which are executed primarily by the Swiss National Accident Insurance Fund) and the employment laws (which are administered by the cantonal Work Inspectorates, under the supervision of the Federal Office for Industry, Trade and Work). The administrative duties in this area are not limited to accident prevention in the place of work, but extend to the review and the provision of permits for planned future industrial enterprises and any subdivisions thereof.
