Chapter I: Formal notices

As soon as it has been established that the workers are in the dangerous situation referred to in Article L. 4721-8, the Labour Inspectorate monitoring officer referred to in Article L. 8112-1 shall give the employer formal notice to remedy the situation. This formal notice takes place in the following two stages: 1° As soon as the dangerous situation has been identified, the labour inspection officer referred to in article…

The employer shall inform without delay the agents of the prevention services of the social security bodies, the occupational physician, the social and economic committee, as well as the workers concerned, of the finding of a dangerous situation made by the labour inspector pursuant to 1° of article R. 4721-6.

The action plan is drawn up by the employer after consulting the occupational physician and the social and economic committee. In the absence of an opinion, the action plan is disregarded if the occupational physician and the social and economic committee have been duly informed and convened for consultation.

The employer regularly informs and consults the occupational physician and the social and economic committee on the implementation of the action plan.

If the action plan has not been received or at the end of the implementation period set in application of 2° of article R. 4721-6, if the labour inspection officer mentioned in article L. 8112-1 finds that the dangerous situation persists, he may, after hearing the employer, order the temporary stoppage of the activity under the conditions provided for in articles R. 4731-10 et seq.
