Occupational health, safety and environmental protection management system
Arbeits-, Gesundheits- und Umweltschutzmanagementsystem (AGU)
AGU-Hochschulen (AGUM) is an information and management system specially developed for universities. It was introduced by the university management in 2008 to promote occupational health and safety and environmental protection at all levels of TUM and to provide legal certainty for everyone.
AGUM can be accessed either from the Munich Scientific Network (MWN, including VPN connections) or via the eAccess service of the TUM University Library. A prerequisite for access from the MWN is the one-time configuration of the proxy settings (http://pac.lrz.de) in your browser (instructions for proxy configuration).

Web-System for risk assessments
The AGU system (see above) provides a risk assessment database (see menu item “GB-DB”), which can be used to create risk assessments online after one-time registration. A comprehensive catalog of questions divided into eleven hazard groups is the basis there. Only the hazard groups that actually occur at your workplaces need to be processed.

DaMaRIS
With DaMaRIS (Dangerous Materials Registry Information System) the Technical University of Munich provides all institutions that handle hazardous substances a modern, browser-based tool for fulfilling the essential requirements of the Hazardous Substances Ordinance.
DaMaRIS can be accessed from the university network with all common browsers via an encrypted connection. You will receive a user account from your faculty or department administrator. Computers that are not in the university network can access DaMaRIS via a VPN connection.

Biostoffverzeichnis
As part of the risk assessment, the employer must compile a list of the biological substances used or occurring ("Biostoffverzeichnis"), insofar as these are known and relevant for the risk assessment in accordance with Section 4 of the Biological Substances Ordinance (§4 BioStoffV).
With the database “TUM-Biostoffverzeichnis”, the Technical University of Munich provides managers of all institutions (except medicinal services) that handle biological substances with a modern, browser-based tool to fulfill this requirement of the Biological Substances Ordinance.
The computer must be connected to the Munich scientific network (MWN). Alternatively, access is also possible via a VPN connection of the LRZ with a valid TUM ID. One user account with full access and one user account with read-only access (Infouser) will be set up for each institution upon request.

Disposal guidelines
The waste generated at the Technical University of Munich (including laboratory waste, residual waste, paper and other recyclable materials, but also garden waste and construction waste from the maintenance of green areas and buildings) must be disposed in a regulated manner in accordance with the principles of recycling and waste management for economic reasons and with a particular focus on environmental protection.
The waste disposal guidelines provide information on the organization of waste management within the Technical University of Munich and assistance with the classification and disposal of waste. At the same time, it includes general transportation rules for hazardous goods transport processes that are not related to disposal processes.
Publication Archive
In our publications archive, you can download the flyers and circulars we have published, as well as all published materials on the annual focus topics. In another section, you will find numerous materials for use in training sessions.
Ergonomic rental equipment
Good and ergonomic work equipment can quickly become very expensive. To avoid purchasing the wrong equipment, it can be very useful to try out chairs or aids such as an ergonomic computer mouse before buying them.
Hochschulreferat 6 stocks a limited selection of work equipment whose suitability cannot be assessed spontaneously - for example, because the use of a vertical mouse or a roller bar mouse requires a certain amount of time to get used to. Only then can a realistic assessment be made as to whether any discomfort will subside.

Orientation measurements
Many parameters relevant to occupational health and safety can be quantified or are linked to clear limit values in the regulations. Some of these parameters - such as temperature, lighting, noise, etc. - are easier to measure, while other parameters - such as hazardous substances, air flow/air exchange, etc. - are more complex to record and evaluate.
Hochschulreferat 6 has appropriate measuring devices for a range of parameters, which are generally used to carry out an indicative measurement. The aim of such a measurement is to determine whether there is reason to assume that the specified limit values may have been exceeded, in order to then commission an expert measurement if necessary.
