Occupational Health and Safety Standards: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn about your legal rights to a safe workplace and the mandatory safety equipment provided to all employees working in Spain.
These standards establish the legal protections and safety requirements designed to keep people safe while they are performing their jobs.
Who it's for
This applies to all employees working in Spain.
What you get
You have a legal right to work in a safe environment. This includes the requirement for your employer to provide you with necessary safety equipment, often referred to as personal protective equipment (PPE).
What it costs you
There is no cost to you. Your employer is responsible for providing all required safety training and the necessary protective gear at no expense to the worker.
The catch to know
While the employer must provide the equipment, you are legally obligated to actually use the safety gear that has been provided to you.
How to apply
- Familiarize yourself with the safety requirements of your specific job.
- Confirm with your employer that you have received all necessary training and equipment.
- Ensure you are using all provided safety gear during your working hours.
