We remind you that all companies, regardless of their size or business sector, are required to effectively comply with occupational risk prevention safety measures from the moment the company hires its first employee.
Companies are required to have an occupational risk prevention service, unless they designate a person for this purpose, which we do not recommend. It is therefore extremely important that they contract occupational risk prevention for their workers with an accredited prevention service that will be responsible for training workers and monitoring their health, among other things.
The Labor Inspectorate, even if there has been no accident at work in the company, carries out constant and numerous checks to verify that companies comply with their labor obligations, as well as checking on site (at the workplace) the effective compliance with occupational risk prevention safety measures.
It also usually requires the following documents or accreditations, which the company must keep up to date:
– Contract for external prevention services and proof of payment confirming its validity.
– Contract for health surveillance services and proof of payment confirming its validity.
– Occupational risk prevention plan.
– Risk assessment.
– Preventive activity plan.
– Training and information certificates for all workers.
– Proof of delivery of personal protective equipment to workers.
– Implementation of industrial hygiene measures.
– Investigation of accidents and sick leave due to occupational illness.
– Preventive resources (for work involving special risks, common in construction).
– Certificates of fitness for all workers (based on medical examinations).
