According to the Swiss Federal Accident Insurance Law, the Swiss National Accident Insurance Company (Suva) is responsible for the prevention of occupational disease in all Swiss industries. In the Suva medical division, a special group concerned with occupational medicine ensures that these measures are implemented. It first of all organizes and supervises preliminary check-ups and follow-up examinations and then may also exclude endangered employees from their present activity. Such employees are entitled to free advice and in certain cases may qualify for interim daily allowances.
