Article R4426-13 of the French Labour Code

If a worker is found to be suffering from an infection or disease listed in an occupational disease table and which may be the result of exposure to biological agents, all workers likely to have been exposed at the same workplace will undergo a medical examination, possibly accompanied by additional tests.
If the infection or disease is not listed in an occupational disease table, the occupational physician may suggest that other workers who have been similarly exposed should undergo medical surveillance.
A new assessment of the risk of exposure is also carried out in accordance with the provisions of Chapter III.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R4426-13


Lorsqu’il s’avère qu’un travailleur est atteint d’une infection ou d’une maladie inscrite dans un tableau de maladie professionnelle et pouvant résulter d’une exposition à des agents biologiques, tous les travailleurs susceptibles d’avoir été exposés sur le même lieu de travail font l’objet d’un examen médical, assorti éventuellement d’examens complémentaires.
Si l’infection ou la maladie n’est pas inscrite dans un tableau de maladies professionnelles, le médecin du travail peut proposer aux autres travailleurs ayant subi une exposition analogue de bénéficier d’une surveillance médicale.
Une nouvelle évaluation du risque d’exposition est en outre réalisée conformément aux dispositions du chapitre III.
