Section 1: Withdrawal of assignment to certain works

Young workers under the age of eighteen covered by this section are those referred to in Articles L. 4153-8 and L. 4153-9.

Any young worker under the age of eighteen assigned to one or more of the prohibited tasks provided for in Article L. 4153-8 shall be immediately withdrawn from this assignment when the labour inspection officer referred to in Article L. 8112-1 so finds.

When the labour inspector referred to in article L. 8112-1 observes that, as a result of being assigned to one or more of the regulated jobs referred to in article L. 4153-9, a young worker under the age of eighteen is placed in a situation that exposes him or her to serious and imminent danger to life or health, he or she will immediately remove the young worker.

Withdrawal decisions taken in application of articles L. 4733-2 and L. 4733-3 may not result in any financial prejudice to the young person concerned or in the suspension or termination of the employment contract or work experience agreement.

When all measures have been taken to put an end to the situation of serious and imminent danger which gave rise to the withdrawal decision provided for in article L. 4733-3, the employer or the head of the establishment shall inform the Labour Inspection supervisory officer. After verification, the Labour Inspectorate monitoring officer authorises the regulated work concerned to be resumed.

The decisions provided for in articles L. 4733-2 to L. 4733-5 may be challenged before the administrative judge by way of summary proceedings.
