Selected Swiss legal references
Workplace protection is supported by the following provisions, within their respective scope of application:
- Art. 328 CO: protection of employees’ personality rights.

- Art. 2 OLT 3: protection of physical and psychological health.
SECO also provides practical guidance on prevention and workplace health protection. Explore SECO resources →
A person-of-trust scheme contributes to prevention and guidance; the employer’s responsibilities and other necessary measures must still be considered in context.
NGOs and international organisations
Experience in protection and safeguarding also informs support for NGOs, foundations and international organisations.
International safeguarding →A role defined from the outset
If I have supported someone as a person of trust, I do not then act as mediator, investigator or adviser to the employer in the same matter. Where another intervention is needed, I help identify an appropriate referral. This separation helps protect trust and the impartiality of the process.
