The employer must provide information and training for workers on how to use the screen and the work equipment in which the screen is integrated. Each worker will receive such training before being assigned to work with a display screen for the first time and whenever the organisation of the workstation is substantially modified.
A worker may not be assigned to work on a visual display screen unless he has undergone an appropriate eye and vision examination as part of the information and prevention visits. If the result of this examination so requires, they will benefit from an additional ophthalmological examination prescribed by the occupational physician under the conditions laid down in articles R. 4624-35 to R. 4624-38.
The employer shall arrange for the occupational physician to examine any worker who complains of problems that may be due to working with a display screen.If the results of the medical examinations make it necessary, an ophthalmological examination shall be carried out.
If the results of medical surveillance make correction necessary and normal corrective devices cannot be used, screen workers will be provided with special corrective devices appropriate to the work concerned. These devices may not entail any additional financial burden for the workers.
The provisions of sections 2 to 6 of this chapter are applicable, without prejudice to those of Title I of this book, to inspection, maintenance and technical control work, as well as to repair and conversion work carried out on the following permanently installed equipment: lifts, goods lifts, passenger lifts with a speed not exceeding 0.15 metres per second, escalators, moving walkways or automatic vehicle parking systems.
The work referred to in article R. 4543-1 may not be carried out on equipment which has not been the subject of a specific safety study, carried out by the company responsible for the work, referred to as the “intervening company”. This study is carried out within six weeks of the company taking charge of the equipment.
The study shall be entrusted to a person competent in the field of risk prevention and familiar with the provisions applicable to the work referred to in Article R. 4543-1 as well as the regulatory provisions applicable to the equipment concerned.
The specific safety study is updated within six weeks of the occurrence of any event likely to affect the risk assessment, in particular: 1° In the event of a major conversion; 2° On receipt of the inspection report from the technical inspector in the case of lifts; 3° After the implementation of measures following the notification of a situation of serious and imminent danger under the conditions of article L….
The technical inspection report defined in article R. 134-11 du code de la construction et de l’habitation is deemed to constitute the safety study of the contractor carrying out the inspection. For this company, it constitutes the safety study prior to the checks it subsequently carries out on the same equipment.
Except in the case provided for in article R. 4543-5, the specific safety study remains the property of the contractor. A copy is given to the owner of the equipment.
