DVGW's Technical Safety Management provides an industry-specific solution for achieving and checking organisational safety. The TSM was developed specifically to ensure proper gas and water supply and is therefore the means of choice if a utility company wants to minimise its liability risks with regard to its organisational structure and process organisation and to consolidate the security of action for employees and managers. In addition, the TSM is an instrument to be used at a manageable cost, which supports the introduction with determination of the status quo, identification of fields of action and self-assessment of the companies by using the questions from the TSM guidelines of the DVGW.
The specifications of the DVGW Set of Rules form the basis for the voluntary system to support autonomous action and at the same time strengthen the competence of the technical self-government in Germany. The specifications are defined in DVGW rules and standards and reflect, among other things, the legal requirements with regard to organisation, plant safety, environmental protection and occupational safety. With the introduction of a TSM, possible deficits in the organization should be systematically identified and eliminated. The implementation of the guidelines contributes to the creation of transparent structures, increased security against organisational fault and compliance with qualification requirements. Effort and benefit are in appropriate proportion to each other.
