French law · What you cannot prove
Single risk assessment document (DUERP) and safety training
The obligation is to produce it, not to be trained in it. But training your employees is mandatory.
Objectives
- Build or revise your document unique d'évaluation des risques professionnels (DUERP, the French mandatory occupational risk assessment document) based on your actual activity
- Organise its updating so that it actually takes place, and keep the successive versions
- Identify the employees who must receive safety training, and when
- Link each identified risk to a measure and to a person
Programme
- Morning: The single document, without copy and paste: What the law requires: a document, not a form, and why templates found online protect you from nothing · Dividing your activity into work units: this is where everything is decided · Rating a risk without getting lost: severity, frequency, existing controls · Retention: successive versions, forty years, and what this implies for filing
- Afternoon: Safety training, the obligation that is overlooked: Who is entitled to it, and when: on hiring, on a change of job or technique, for temporary agency workers, and after an absence of at least twenty-one days at the request of the occupational physician (médecin du travail) · The cost is borne by the employer: what this changes in the budget · Building your one-hour safety induction, which someone else can deliver · What happens after an accident: which documents are requested, and in what order
Prerequisites
Employ at least one person, whether an employee or not.
