On the basis of enquiries by German and Swiss accident insurers that began in 2011 it had become clear that tampering with safety devices on machines in factories had become very widespread. A study carried out by the German Statutory Accident Insurance (DGUV) showed that 37 per cent of safety devices on metalworking machines had been tampered with. Safety devices that have been tampered with significantly increase the risk of using machinery and lead to severe occupational accidents with their attendant suffering and high costs.

The results of the NLST (National Lung Screening Trial) study showed that the use of Low Dose Spiral Computer Tomography with persons with a significantly increased risk of lung cancer can reduce the mortality risk by identifying lung cancer at an earlier stage than the use of conventional X-rays. At the end of 2011 the SUVA decided to offer this possibility on a voluntary basis to those of its insured members who had been exposed to asbestos and had a similar risk of developing lung cancer. The programme started in 2012.

Automated award of the old-age labour pensions from a single point has been successfully implemented since 2013. The advantage of the system is that any person who reaches retirement age can immediately be awarded the pension without collecting documents and wasting time by simply calling a 142 Call Centre. The person concerned gets information regarding the pension amount applicable and the address of the respective bank office where he can obtain his pension card. The whole process takes a few minutes.
