Workplace Safety Regulations: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn about your rights to safety equipment and training, and understand your responsibilities regarding personal protective gear in Spain.
These regulations ensure that all employees in Spain are protected from hazards while performing their jobs through specific safety measures and equipment.
Who it's for
This scheme applies to every person who is employed, covering all employees regardless of their specific role.
What you get
Your employer is required to provide you with necessary safety training to help you work safely. You must also be provided with all the mandatory safety equipment needed for your specific tasks.
What it costs you
While the equipment and training are provided by your employer, you are required to attend mandatory annual medical check-ups to monitor your health in relation to your work environment.
The catch to know
Receiving safety equipment is not enough; you are required to actually use the provided personal protective gear (EPI). If you fail to use the equipment provided to you, your employer may take disciplinary action against you.
How to apply
- Review the safety protocols provided by your employer.
- Attend all required safety and training sessions.
- Use the provided protective equipment at all times during your shift.
- Complete your mandatory annual medical check-ups.
