LEGISLATION
The context
In France, prevention is described in the labor code. The law n°91-1414 of December 31, 1991 was put in place after the introduction of the European Directive 89/391/CEE of June 12, 1989. Prevention measures have to follow the nine general principles given by this law. The General Principles of Prevention are set out in descending order of preference as follows:
- Avoid risks
- Evaluate unavoidable risks
- Combat risks at source
- Adapt work to the individual, especially the design of places of work
- Adapt the place of work to technical progress
- Replace dangerous articles, substances, or systems of work by non-dangerous or less dangerous articles, substances, or systems
- Plan the prevention by taking into account (according to their importance):
- The techniques
- The work organization
- The work conditions
- Social relation between people and external factors
- Use collective protective measures over individual measures
- Give of appropriate training and instruction to employees
We also tried to follow all the European legislations and more precisely the following directives and French laws and decrees:
- Directive 2009/41/EC on the contained use of genetically modified microorganisms
- The French decree of July 18, 1994 establishing the list of biological pathogens
- The French decree n°94.352 of May 4, 1994 on the protection of workers against risks arising from exposure to biological agents
- The French decree of July 16, 2007 laying down the technical preventive measures, including containment, to be implemented in research laboratories, teaching, analysis, anatomy , surgical pathology, autopsy rooms, industrial and agricultural establishments where workers are likely to be exposed to biological pathogens.
