Members of the Commission

The Federal Coordination Commission for Occupational Safety (FCOS) is made up of 15 members, who are appointed by the Federal Council. These members include:

  • 3 representatives from insurance carriers (1 x Suva, 2 x private insurance companies)
  • 8 representatives from implementation bodies (3 x cantons, 2 x SECO, 3 x Suva)
  • 2 employer representatives
  • 2 employee representatives 

These members meet four times a year at the Commission’s meetings, at which relevant topics in the area of occupational safety are discussed and resolutions are passed. The foundations for occupational safety are created, preventative activities are coordinated, and resources are allocated to the implementation bodies.

If a full member is unable to attend a meeting, they may send a deputy appointed by FCOS to attend the meeting. However, this deputy shall not have any voting or electoral rights in FCOS.
