Article R4323-63 of the French Labour Code

Ladders, stepladders and steps may not be used as workstations.
However, such equipment may be used where it is technically impossible to use equipment for the collective protection of workers, or where the risk assessment has established that the risk is low and that the work is of short duration and not repetitive in nature.

Il est interdit d’utiliser les échelles, escabeaux et marchepieds comme poste de travail.
Toutefois, ces équipements peuvent être utilisés en cas d’impossibilité technique de recourir à un équipement assurant la protection collective des travailleurs ou lorsque l’évaluation du risque a établi que ce risque est faible et qu’il s’agit de travaux de courte durée ne présentant pas un caractère répétitif.
