Entry into force of the decree amending the rules applicable to the Single Risk Assessment Document – DUERP
As a reminder, the DUERP is a mandatory document related to the prevention of health risks (physical and mental) and the safety at work of workers. No form is imposed for the DUERP but it must include an inventory of dangers, that is to say situations that can potentially be dangerous, and a inventory of risks< /strong>, ie an analysis of the conditions of exposure of employees to hazards.
The decree of March 18, 2022, which comes into force on March 31, 2022, significantly modifies the rules applicable to the DUERP.
So, in summary:
The DUERP is essential to ensure the protection of the health and safety of employees.
Failing to establish or update it when necessary exposes the company:
- to criminal sanctions, but also
- recognition, in the event of an accident at work or occupational disease, of an inexcusable fault involving the condemnation of the company to compensate the victim or his heirs.</ li>
It is therefore extremely important to establish a DUERP, regardless of the size of the company, and to comply with the new provisions mentioned above.
