The AIF department consists of two sub-areas:

Employee protection aims to provide all employees with the highest level of safety in the workplace and to implement solution-oriented measures with the means at our disposal. We support you with the best possible service to make the workplace safe and to protect and maintain your health.

With our activities, we make a significant contribution to creating and maintaining a basic standard of safety.

Therefore, our mission statement is: "By acting with foresight and taking appropriate preventive measures, the highest level of safety for material goods, intellectual goods and people shall be ensured with the available means."

The ongoing research and teaching operations at the University of Vienna are ensured by the foundations and infrastructure provided by the Infrastructural Facility Management team and required by the University of Vienna. This includes the areas of fire protection management, waste disposal management, auditorium support, porterage, cleaning services, security and security team and key management.
