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 tried to use those principles when we worked on the safety of our project.
