The table includes only versions that introduce or amend the selected OSH subsections. Full article versions changing only other subjects remain in the official sources but are not shown as preventive reforms.

Functions and provisions connected to occupational safety and health are selected; other subjects remain available in the official sources. Text-version dates are those recorded by the BOE and may refer to regional publication, preceding publication in the state gazette.

Transitional provisions and application notes

  • Collaboration does not make the Institute a substitute for the Inspectorate or an employer’s prevention service. Each action remains subject to the applicable powers.

    Article 4
  • The Law provides for statutes and implementing regulations. This entry addresses the founding Law rather than reconstructing every subsequent operational instrument.

    Final provision first
  • Temporary assumption of management functions by the Vice-President was a start-up rule. It does not identify who currently holds the executive post.
