About Sicherheitsingenieur

Sicherheitsingenieur

Sicherheitsingenieur is a German trade journal for occupational safety and health, published by the Konradin Media Group of Leinfelden-Echterdingen in Baden-Württemberg. Describing itself as the opinion-forming specialist journal for occupational safety and health protection in Germany, it addresses safety engineers, occupational safety specialists, safety officers, works councils, entrepreneurs, and managers. With a circulation of around thirteen thousand copies, it covers occupational safety, health protection, operational prevention, personal protective equipment, and the law and regulations of workplace safety, serving the profession that stands at the front line of Germany's prevention system and that decides on the products protecting their colleagues' health.

Overview

Sicherheitsingenieur appears as a print trade journal complemented by a digital magazine for download, newsletters, webinars and websessions, whitepapers, video statements, and the Si-Akademie training offerings. The editorial program covers the full range of occupational safety: risk assessment, machine safety, hazardous substances, fire and explosion protection, electrical safety, ergonomics, occupational health management, and the organization of safety in companies of all sizes. Personal protective equipment (PSA) is a standing focus, with special publications such as "Special PSA" addressing protective clothing, respiratory protection, head protection, and fall protection, and with highlights formats presenting product innovations from the safety-technology industry.

The journal's self-description emphasizes independence and a high professional standard: safety engineers stand at the front line of the prevention system, with a broad range of tasks and responsibilities, and they need special expertise, comprehensive background knowledge, best practices, and concrete recommendations. They are also important multipliers and co-decision-makers when it comes to procuring products for the health of their colleagues. The editorial team, led by editor-in-chief David Wiechmann, aims to inform readers neutrally and at a high professional level, with the stated ambition of serving readers' expertise at the level the profession demands.

The readership spans the occupational-safety profession: safety engineers and occupational safety specialists, safety officers, works councils, entrepreneurs, managing directors, and everyone interested in safety and health at work. The journal forms a brand family with Sicherheitsbeauftragter, the practice magazine for safety officers, which has been written for and about the committed forces at the base for more than fifty years, and which tells each issue that engaging with occupational safety and health is not only sensible but worthwhile. Joint special editions, such as the ARBEITSSCHUTZ AKTUELL trade-fair special distributed in both journals and at the fair itself, serve the combined audience of specialists and practitioners, and the joint media data presents the two titles as a single buy for the prevention market, with the fair special's newsletter reaching thousands of safety professionals.

History

Sicherheitsingenieur is published by the Konradin Media Group, the Leinfelden-Echterdingen-based specialist publisher for industry and technology. The journal developed as the professional organ of the occupational-safety engineering community, distinct from the association journals and the official publications of the accident insurance institutions. Its positioning as an independent, opinion-forming journal reflects the professionalization of the safety-engineer role in German industry and the growing complexity of the regulatory environment in which safety engineers work. Over its run, it has accompanied the field from the classic accident-prevention focus through the rise of occupational health management to today's integrated prevention concepts, always with the practitioner's needs in view and the prevention goal firmly in sight.

The brand family with Sicherheitsbeauftragter, published by the Dr. Curt Haefner-Verlag, extends the journal's reach from the engineering specialists to the safety officers at the base of the prevention system. The two titles' joint media data and combined trade-fair specials reflect their complementary audiences: the engineers who design safety systems and the officers who implement them daily. The ARBEITSSCHUTZ AKTUELL special, distributed as a supplement in both journals and at the trade fair, with a newsletter mailing to around seven thousand recipients from occupational safety, demonstrates the brand family's event integration and its role as a media partner of industry initiatives such as the German Occupational Safety Award.

Coverage and Content

Occupational safety topics form the core: risk assessments, safety concepts for machinery and plants, hazardous-substance management, explosion protection, and electrical safety. Health protection coverage addresses ergonomics, occupational health management, mental stress at work, demographic change and aging workforces, and the humane design of work. Personal protective equipment is covered in depth, from selection and use to standards and innovation, with the Special PSA supplement as a dedicated format and the "Highlights der Arbeitssicherheit" presenting new products from the safety-technology industry.

Legal coverage examines the law and regulations of occupational safety: the Arbeitsschutzgesetz, accident-prevention regulations, technical rules, and the case law affecting safety practice. Best-practice features present concrete recommendations and examples from companies, giving safety engineers actionable guidance for their own organizations. The Themenübersicht (topic overview) and the annual schedule of topics give advertisers and readers a structured view of the editorial year, and the journal's advertising formats range from full pages to company profiles, address rentals, and e-mailings, with special prices around the ARBEITSSCHUTZ AKTUELL fair.

Organization and Ownership

Sicherheitsingenieur is published by the Konradin Media Group of Leinfelden-Echterdingen, a specialist publisher for industry and technology with a broad portfolio of trade journals.

The brand family includes Sicherheitsbeauftragter, edited by Dr. Ralf Beck, which addresses the safety officers at the operational base with practical guidance, recognition, and encouragement. The business model combines print subscriptions with advertising from manufacturers of safety technology and personal protective equipment, supplemented by digital products: newsletters, webinars, whitepapers, video statements, lead generation, address rentals, and the Si-Akademie training business.

Digital Presence

The digital offering includes the digital magazine for download, newsletters reaching the occupational-safety community, webinars and websessions, whitepapers, and lead-generation products. The newsletter mailing to around seven thousand recipients from occupational safety demonstrates the digital reach of the brand family. The Si-Akademie extends the brand into training, the events program connects the journal with the ARBEITSSCHUTZ AKTUELL trade fair, and the advent-calendar and video-statement formats give advertisers creative digital options alongside the classic print placements, rounding out a full-service media offering for the prevention market.

Prevention in Practice

Beyond the journal's pages, the brand family serves the prevention community through its event and training integration. The ARBEITSSCHUTZ AKTUELL trade-fair special reaches readers in print and at the fair, the Si-Akademie offers continuing education, and the journal's role as a media partner of initiatives such as the German Occupational Safety Award connects it with the recognition of best practice. For safety engineers, the brand family functions as a professional ecosystem: journal, digital services, events, and training from a single specialist publisher, all oriented to the prevention mission and the people who carry it out every day.

The Journal of Occupational Safety Engineering

Sicherheitsingenieur serves the engineers and specialists who keep German workplaces safe: a trade journal that combines technical depth with practical recommendations, published by a specialist media group within a brand family that spans from the safety engineer to the safety officer. In the German occupational-safety landscape, it is the independent, opinion-forming voice of the profession, and its combination of print authority and digital services keeps it at the center of the prevention community, serving readers who ensure that every employee returns home unharmed at the end of the working day, every single day.
