The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Arbeitsmedizin und Umweltmedizin e.V. (DGAUM) is a non-profit, scientific-medical professional society founded in 1962 on the initiative of Ernst Wilhelm Baader. Based in Munich and with over 1,300 members, primarily consisting of physicians and professionals from other fields such as natural and social sciences, the DGAUM positions itself as a politically and economically independent representative in the field of occupational medicine and clinically oriented environmental medicine[3].
The main mission of the DGAUM is to promote national and international scientific exchange of ideas and the professional concerns of occupational medicine and clinical environmental medicine. A central concern is the integration of mental and physical stress in workplace prevention. Occupational physicians play a guiding role in the workplace to ensure the physical and mental health of employees. The DGAUM adheres to the ethical code of occupational medicine and is committed to providing medical and health advice to employees and managers[3].
Thus, the DGAUM is a central actor in promoting health and safety in the workplace, scientific research, and professional development in the fields of occupational medicine and environmental medicine.
