Workplaces are equipped with first aid equipment that is appropriate to the nature of the risks and easily accessible.
Workplaces are equipped with first aid equipment that is appropriate to the nature of the risks and easily accessible.
A member of staff receives the first aid training necessary to provide first aid in an emergency in: 1° Each workshop where dangerous work is carried out; 2° Each worksite employing at least twenty workers for more than fifteen days where dangerous work is carried out. Workers trained in this way may not replace nurses.
In the absence of nurses, or when there are not enough of them to ensure a permanent presence, the employer shall, after consulting the occupational physician, take the necessary measures to provide first aid to accident victims and the sick. These measures, which are taken in liaison with the emergency services outside the company, are adapted to the nature of the risks. These measures are recorded in a document kept…
Workplace installations and technical and safety devices are maintained and checked at appropriate intervals. Any defects likely to affect the health and safety of workers are rectified as quickly as possible. The frequency of inspections and the work carried out are recorded in a file which is, where appropriate, appended to the workplace maintenance file provided for in Article R. 4211-3. This file includes, in particular, the instructions and documents…
Where one or more lifts are in service on the premises of an establishment, the employer shall ensure that the owner takes the necessary measures to comply with : 1° The provisions of articles R. 134-6 to R. 134-13 of the Construction and Housing Code relating to maintenance and technical inspection ; 2° The provisions of articles R. 134-2 to R. 134-5 of the Code de la Construction et de…
The employer shall inform the owner of any malfunction of a lift likely to affect the safety of persons and shall take the necessary measures to prohibit the use of the equipment until the malfunction has been remedied.
The work premises and annexes are regularly maintained and cleaned. They are kept free of clutter. The occupational physician and the social and economic committee issue an opinion on the measures to be taken to meet these obligations.
When the company leaves the premises, the employer returns the workplace maintenance file to the owner or passes it on to the next occupant.
Where it is not possible, given the nature of the work, to avoid danger zones involving risks of falling persons or falling objects, and even in the case of one-off maintenance or repair activities, these zones are visibly marked. They are also marked by devices designed to prevent unauthorised workers from entering these areas.
When the contents transported by the pipes present a danger, the pipes are marked so that the nature of the contents transported can be determined.
