PREVENCIÓN DE RIESGOS LABORALES: ASIGNATURA PENDIENTE (PARTE I)

Abstract

Ten years after the promulgation of

the law 31/1995 of Prevention of La

boral Risks, we can still see that

work-related accidents are unfortuna

tely current affairs, due to the se

riousness of the consequences and

the high number of cases.

Provisions like RD 604/2006 have

been recently promulgated, modif

ying this way the RD 39/1997, which

approved the regulations of Preven

tion Services, and the RD 1627/1997,

which established the minimum se

curity and health provisions in buil

ding works, that, together with the

Law for the reform of the regulation

frame for prevention of laboral risks

(Law 31/1995, and Law of Infringe

ments and Sanctions of the Social

Order), have as their aim, among ot

hers, to introduce in a clear and for

ceful way the obligation in the men

tioned reforms, and integrate the pre

vention of laboral risks in the general

management system of the enterpri

se, both in the whole scheme of its

activities, and all hierarchical levels

of it, through the establishment of ru

les, goals objectives, and all of it by

means of the implantation of a Pre

vention Plan, which should be kept

well documented.
