Paragraph 1: Help with adapting the workplace

The financial assistance provided for in Article L. 5213-10 may concern, in particular: 1° The adaptation of machines or tools; 2° The adaptation of workstations, including the individual equipment necessary for disabled workers to occupy these positions; 3° Access to the workplace.

The application for financial assistance submitted under article R. 5213-32 is sent to the Prefect of the department in which the establishment is located. It shall be accompanied by a technical description of the project and an estimate, as well as the opinion of the social and economic committee.

The amount of financial assistance that may be granted may not exceed 80% of the cost of the planned adaptation or fitting.

The Prefect decides on the application for financial assistance. However, where the aid likely to be granted exceeds an amount set by joint order of the ministers responsible for the budget and employment, the prefect’s order is forwarded to the minister responsible for employment before being implemented. The minister has fifteen days from receipt of the order to review the case and decide on the application.
