Article L1251-22 of the French Labour Code

The obligations relating to occupational medicine are the responsibility of the temporary employment agency.

Except where the temporary work agency is covered by the agricultural scheme, employees are monitored by specifically approved occupational health and prevention services.

Where the user undertaking has its own occupational health and prevention service, employees may be monitored by this service under an agreement with the temporary employment undertaking.

When the activity carried out by the temporary employee requires enhanced medical supervision within the meaning of the regulations relating to health at work, the corresponding obligations are the responsibility of the user company.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L1251-22

Les obligations relatives à la médecine du travail sont à la charge de l’entreprise de travail temporaire.

Sauf lorsque cette dernière relève du régime agricole, le suivi médical des salariés est assuré par des services de prévention et de santé au travail faisant l’objet d’un agrément spécifique.

Lorsque l’entreprise utilisatrice dispose de son propre service de prévention et de santé au travail, les salariés peuvent être suivis par celui-ci, dans le cadre d’une convention conclue avec l’entreprise de travail temporaire.

Lorsque l’activité exercée par le salarié temporaire nécessite une surveillance médicale renforcée au sens de la réglementation relative à la santé au travail, les obligations correspondantes sont à la charge de l’entreprise utilisatrice.
