New regulations for work in positive pressure
The Federal Council approves the revised ordinance on safety when working in positive pressure.
The previous regulation on the subject of work in positive pressure, for example construction work in compressed air or diving work, is already over 50 years old. It therefore no longer meets current occupational safety requirements in many respects.

The new ordinance takes particular account of advances in technology and occupational medicine. It is available on the federal website for Download available.
