Subsection 4: Health and safety.

It is forbidden to employ apprentices in work that is dangerous to their health or safety.

For certain vocational training courses listed exhaustively by decree and under the conditions laid down by that decree, the apprentice may carry out all the work that his training may require, under the employer’s responsibility. To this end, the employer must submit a declaration to the regional directorate for companies, competition, consumption, labour and employment. These provisions apply without prejudice to the powers of control exercised by the Labour Inspectorate…

When apprentices attend the training centre, they continue to be covered by the social security system for accidents at work and occupational illnesses to which they are subject as employees.
