BAD Gesundheitsvorsorge und Sicherheitstechnik GmbH

What BAD Gesundheitsvorsorge und Sicherheitstechnik GmbH does

BG prevent GmbH, headquartered in Bonn and formerly operating as B·A·D Gesundheitsvorsorge und Sicherheitstechnik GmbH until its July 1, 2025 rebrand, is one of Germany's largest providers of occupational health, occupational safety, and fire-protection services. The company is owned by eight commercial Berufsgenossenschaften (statutory accident insurance institutions) together with Unfallkasse NRW, anchoring its position within the German statutory occupational safety framework.

The company operates more than 150 health centers across Germany staffed by over 3,700 experts, including physicians, psychologists, safety engineers, and ergonomists, and it trains approximately 50 occupational medicine specialists each year. Its service portfolio spans occupational medical care, workplace risk assessments, ASA (Arbeitsschutzausschuss) safety-committee support, fire-protection consulting, and ergonomic consulting, supplemented by an emerging suite of proprietary digital products including the VR Fire-Trainer virtual-reality fire-protection system, the KICO AI risk-assessment platform, and the pria psych generative-AI tool for psychosocial risk assessments.

BG prevent serves more than 210,000 companies, workplaces, and public institutions on recurring B2B subscription contracts, generating revenue through annual service agreements that bundle statutory health surveillance, safety consulting, and digital add-ons. The 2025 rebrand and product launches, alongside partnerships such as MEHRWERT:PFLEGE with vdek and a technology collaboration with DeepCare, indicate a deliberate shift toward positioning prevention — rather than reactive occupational health — as the strategic core of the franchise.
