Working environment

The photo shows the Federal Highway Research Institute of the above.

BASt is situated near the A4 motorway from Cologne to Olpe, on the edge of a large forest area. The buildings are bright and spacious; the equipment of the spacious rooms is based on the latest ergonomic requirements. In general, all employees have individual offices.

A library is available to employees as an information centre. Apart from purchasing and lending literature, the library also offers research opportunities in various databases, as well as various other services.

As part of occupational health and safety, employees are offered appropriate work wear. They can also take advantage of healthcare and a social counselling service provided by the company when needed.


An idea management scheme is now firmly established in BASt: It offers all employees the opportunity to get involved with their own ideas and suggestions for the improvement of work processes and working conditions.

The employees can spend their lunch in a convivial atmosphere in the BASt- cafeteria and its terrace amidst greenery.

The BASt employees who use bus and train for commuting can take advantage of a job ticket.

Joint recreational activities are supported by the administration: For example, participation in language courses is encouraged, as are different sports groups for Nordic walking, jogging, basketball, football and gymnastics.

BASt staff can become members of the social club of the Federal Transportation Administration, which provides inexpensive, mainly family holiday apartments, located primarily in Germany.
