Article R4534-42 of the French Labour Code

When an underground shaft or gallery is to be lined with masonry or concrete, the elements of the support system are removed only as the work progresses and only insofar as, having regard to the stability of the ground through which the work is to be carried out, such removal cannot be detrimental to the safety of the workers.
Similar precautions are taken when carrying out lateral felling and backfilling work.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R4534-42


Lorsqu’un puits ou une galerie souterraine sont destinés à recevoir un revêtement maçonné ou bétonné, les éléments du dispositif de soutènement ne sont enlevés qu’au fur et à mesure de l’avancement des travaux et seulement dans la mesure où, eu égard à la stabilité du terrain traversé, cet enlèvement ne peut nuire à la sécurité des travailleurs.
Des précautions similaires sont prises pour l’exécution de travaux d’abattage latéral ainsi que pour l’exécution de travaux de comblement.
