Service Description

Are you setting up or taking over an agricultural, forestry or horticultural business? Then you must register it with the Social Insurance for Agriculture, Forestry and Horticulture (SVLFG).

The agricultural accident insurance insures:

  • Entrepreneurs
    • self-employed activities in agriculture, forestry or horticulture included
  • assisting spouses and life partners
  • employees and
  • contributing family members

Accident insurance applies to accidents at work and commuting accidents as well as occupational illnesses.
As an entrepreneur, you are responsible for registering and paying the contribution. To register, you must notify the Social Insurance for Agriculture, Forestry and Horticulture (SVLFG) of the following:

  • the type and object of the business
  • the opening date or the date on which preparatory work for the business commenced and
  • company headquarters

The following companies fall under the jurisdiction of the Landwirtschaftliche Berufsgenossenschaft (LBG), which is part of the SVLFG:

  • Companies in agriculture and forestry including:
    • horticulture and viticulture
    • fish farming
    • pond farming
    • lake, stream and river fishing (inland fishing)
    • beekeeping and
    • landscape conservation serving the objectives of nature conservation and environmental protection
  • Agricultural and forestry contractors
  • Livestock enterprises without land management
  • Gardening and landscaping companies and garden maintenance companies
  • Hunting companies
  • Private park and garden maintenance companies

If you register your company with the local trade office, you do not usually need to register separately for accident insurance. The business registration is automatically forwarded to the accident insurance company.
Entrepreneurs of agricultural, forestry and horticultural businesses are compulsorily insured with the LBG in accordance with the law.
Note: Only one accident insurance institution is responsible for your company, even if your company has components in different sectors. The main focus of the company is decisive. There is no right to choose.
