note = {In recent years the number of employees involved in labour leasing has
increased significantly and it consequently plays a decisive role in
the German labour market today. However, from a ‘work science’
point of view this form of atypical employment is linked to particular
hazards, above all the short-term assignment – a typical
characteristic of labour leasing – is the cause of serious health
and safety risks for employees. Several studies reveal a
disproportionally high number of accidents and illnesses amongst
workers. The present article is an aggregation of results derived from
project GRAziL (2008 – 2011). The project was financed by the German
Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS) and aimed at
improving the health and safety of leased workers at the workplace.
The article provides a critical overview of the current status in
labour leasing: Topics such as, for example, the lack of equal
treatment or conditions of employment are described, as well as their
impact on the worker’s physical and psychological health situation.
Based on these studies practical suggestions concerning ways to secure
the health and safety for leased workers are presented.},
