Article R4462-16 of the French Labour Code

The employer must ensure that the construction of buildings and the nature of the materials used are such that, in the event of a pyrotechnic event, the risk of large masses being projected is reduced as much as possible.

It also ensures that the materials making up the walls, doors, windows and in particular the glazing of buildings located in the effect zones and which may be occupied by workers, do not produce sharp splinters if they are likely to be shattered by internal or external overpressure.

In the event of a pyrotechnic event occurring in a neighbouring pyrotechnic installation, it must take steps to prevent major roof or ceiling elements from falling from a building normally occupied by workers.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R4462-16

L’employeur s’assure que le mode de construction des bâtiments et la nature des matériaux utilisés sont tels qu’en cas d’événement pyrotechnique, le risque de projection de masses importantes soit aussi réduit que possible.

Il s’assure également que les matériaux constituant les parois, les portes, les fenêtres et en particulier les vitrages des bâtiments situés dans les zones d’effets et pouvant être occupés par des travailleurs, ne produisent pas des éclats tranchants s’ils sont susceptibles d’être brisés par une surpression interne ou externe.

Il prend des dispositions pour éviter, en cas d’événement pyrotechnique survenant dans une installation pyrotechnique voisine, la chute d’éléments importants de toiture ou de plafond d’un bâtiment habituellement occupé par des travailleurs.
