Questions

Plan de prévention: what people ask

When must the plan de prévention be in writing?

When the outside firms' work, subcontractors included, adds up to at least 400 hours within 12 months or less, continuous or not, or reaches 400 hours during the job. Work on the official dangerous-work list needs a written plan whatever its length.

What must the plan contain?

At least: the hazardous phases and the measures for each, equipment suited to the work and its upkeep, instructions for workers, first aid and emergency arrangements, and how the firms coordinate, including who is in charge.

What happens before the plan is written?

The firms carry out a joint inspection of the work area, its installations and any equipment lent to the outside firm. The host company marks out the work area, flags dangerous zones and sets the routes in.
