Article R4534-88 of the French Labour Code

Workers working on roofs made of materials of insufficient strength, such as glass, cement-based agglomerate slabs, sheet metal, or dilapidated materials, work on scaffolding, work platforms, planks or ladders enabling them not to lean directly on these materials.
The devices interposed between these workers and the roof cover an area of roof comprising several structural elements, including one at each end of the devices, and are arranged in such a way as to prevent any tilting effect.
As the work progresses, these devices must be able to be moved, if necessary, without the workers having to lean directly on the roof.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R4534-88


Les travailleurs intervenant sur des toitures en matériaux d’une résistance insuffisante, tels que vitres, plaques en agglomérés à base de ciment, tôles, ou vétustes, travaillent sur des échafaudages, plates-formes de travail, planches ou échelles leur permettant de ne pas prendre directement appui sur ces matériaux.
Les dispositifs ainsi interposés entre ces travailleurs et la toiture portent sur une étendue de toiture comprenant plusieurs éléments de charpente, dont un à chaque extrémité des dispositifs, et sont agencés de manière à prévenir tout effet de bascule.
Au fur et à mesure de l’avancement des travaux, ces dispositifs doivent pouvoir, le cas échéant, être déplacés sans que les travailleurs aient à prendre directement appui sur la couverture.
