In the performance of his duties, the occupational physician may, at the employer’s expense, take samples or arrange for samples to be taken and measurements to be taken for analysis purposes. He may also arrange for any analyses or measurements he deems necessary to be carried out by an authorised body. In the event of disagreement between the employer and the occupational physician, the decision is taken by the labour inspector, after consulting the occupational physician inspector.
The occupational physician notifies the employer, who informs the workers concerned and the social and economic committee, of any risks and the protective measures to be taken.
