Article L4624-2 of the French Labour Code

I.-Any worker assigned to a position involving particular risks to his or her health or safety or to that of his or her colleagues or third parties in the immediate work environment will benefit from enhanced individual health monitoring. This monitoring includes in particular a medical examination to assess fitness, which replaces the information and prevention visit provided for in article L. 4624-1.

II – The medical examination for fitness is designed to ensure that the worker’s state of health is compatible with the position to which he is assigned, in order to prevent any serious risk to his health or safety or to that of his colleagues or third parties in the immediate working environment. It is carried out before the employee is recruited and renewed periodically. It is carried out by the occupational physician, except where specific provisions entrust it to another physician.

Article L4624-2

I.-Tout travailleur affecté à un poste présentant des risques particuliers pour sa santé ou sa sécurité ou pour celles de ses collègues ou des tiers évoluant dans l’environnement immédiat de travail bénéficie d’un suivi individuel renforcé de son état de santé. Ce suivi comprend notamment un examen médical d’aptitude, qui se substitue à la visite d’information et de prévention prévue à l’article L. 4624-1.

II.-L’examen médical d’aptitude permet de s’assurer de la compatibilité de l’état de santé du travailleur avec le poste auquel il est affecté, afin de prévenir tout risque grave d’atteinte à sa santé ou à sa sécurité ou à celles de ses collègues ou des tiers évoluant dans l’environnement immédiat de travail. Il est réalisé avant l’embauche et renouvelé périodiquement. Il est effectué par le médecin du travail, sauf lorsque des dispositions spécifiques le confient à un autre médecin.
