Article R4534-104 of the French Labour Code

The tensioning of the prestressed concrete reinforcement and the removal of the jacks used for this operation may only be carried out under the supervision of the site foreman or a manager or engineer designated by the employer on the basis of their competence.
The supervisor will ensure that appropriate devices are in place to effectively protect workers against the danger that could result from an untimely release of the energy stored in the rebars during tensioning.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R4534-104


La mise en tension des armatures du béton précontraint ainsi que l’enlèvement des vérins utilisés pour cette opération ne peuvent être réalisés que sous la surveillance du chef de chantier ou d’un agent des cadres ou d’un ingénieur désigné par l’employeur en raison de sa compétence.
Cet agent veille à la mise en place de dispositifs appropriés pour protéger efficacement les travailleurs contre le danger qui pourrait résulter d’une libération intempestive de l’énergie emmagasinée dans les armatures au cours de leur mise en tension.
