Overview
- Landesdirektion Sachsen reported results from last year’s focused inspections of auto dealers, workshops and paint shops.
- Inspectors documented 74 defects at pressure vessels and 21 in explosion‑hazard installations within paint facilities.
- Many additional issues involved missed equipment checks, inadequate occupational safety measures and incomplete risk assessments.
- The 191 inspected sites included operations in Dresden, Bautzen, Chemnitz and Leipzig within a sector of more than 4,500 businesses statewide.
- Authorities cited high hazard potential from paint booths, vehicle lifts or automatic doors that could lead to explosions or electric shocks.
