A group, company or establishment occupational health and prevention service may be set up when the number of employees monitored is 500 or more. The group occupational health and prevention service is set up by agreement between all or some of the companies in the group.
The company or establishment occupational health and prevention service is administered by the employer under the supervision of the social and economic committee. The committee is consulted on matters relating to the organisation and operation of the occupational health and safety service.
The Social and Economic Committee is informed of observations made and formal notices served by the Labour Inspectorate in the field of occupational health, as well as technical observations made by the Labour Medical Inspectorate.
Specific procedures for managing the occupational health and prevention service may be established by group or company agreement or, failing that, by agreement between the employer and the social and economic committee. In the case of a group prevention and occupational health service, the agreement sets out the conditions under which the supervision and consultation provided for in article D. 4622-6 are carried out.
An inter-establishment occupational health and prevention service may be set up between several establishments of an undertaking where the number of employees monitored is 500 or more. The creation of this service is subject to the provisions of section 1 as well as to the approval conditions set out in sub-section 1 of section 4.
The inter-establishment occupational health and prevention service is administered by the employer under the supervision of the central social and economic committee and the relevant establishment social and economic committees.
For the supervision of the inter-establishment occupational health and prevention service, each establishment social and economic committee exercises the same powers as those defined in articles D. 4622-6 to D. 4622-8 with regard to the organisation and operation of the occupational health and prevention service in the establishment.
When an economic and social unit has been recognised between separate undertakings under the conditions set out in article L. 2322-4 and the number of employees monitored reaches or exceeds 500, an occupational health and prevention service common to these undertakings may be set up, with the agreement of the common social and economic committee.
Except in cases where it is administered jointly in application of the agreement concluded by the employer, the occupational health and prevention service is placed under the supervision of the joint social and economic committee, which then exercises the powers provided for in articles D. 4622-6 to D. 4622-8.
