Article R4534-146 of the French Labour Code

On sites where workers are housed, the premises used for accommodation must comply with the employer’s obligations regarding fire prevention and evacuation, as set out in articles R. 4227-1 to R. 4227-14, and accommodation, as set out in articles R. 4228-26 to R. 4228-35.
However, as these are temporary installations, these provisions do not prevent the use of mobile accommodation such as cars or road trailers, provided that compensatory measures are implemented to ensure that workers have at least equivalent accommodation conditions.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R4534-146


Dans les chantiers où sont logés des travailleurs, les locaux affectés au logement satisfont aux obligations de l’employeur en matière de prévention des risques d’incendies et d’évacuation, prévues aux articles R. 4227-1 à R. 4227-14, et d’hébergement, prévues aux articles R. 4228-26 à R. 4228-35.
Toutefois, s’agissant d’installations provisoires, ces dispositions ne font pas obstacle à l’utilisation de logements mobiles tels que voitures ou remorques routières, sous réserve que des mesures compensatrices soient mises en œuvre afin d’assurer aux travailleurs des conditions d’hébergement au moins équivalentes.
