Subsection 2: Approval of the occupational health and prevention service

For temporary employment undertakings, the application for approval and renewal of occupational health and prevention services is accompanied by a specific file, the details of which are set by order of the Minister for Employment.

The inter-company occupational health and prevention service approved to carry out occupational health duties for temporary workers constitutes a sector with its own geographical remit reserved for these employees. This sector may be common to several inter-company occupational health and prevention services approved to carry out occupational health tasks for temporary workers.

The sector reserved for temporary workers is not required to set up at least one fixed medical centre. Where no fixed medical centre is created, this sector is attached to the centre of another sector in the same department.

An occupational physician may not be assigned exclusively to the sector reserved for temporary workers. A derogation may be granted by the Regional Director of Companies, Competition, Consumption, Labour and Employment, after consultation with the Labour Inspector, when the particular characteristics of the sector so require.
