What it regulates
Reformed restrictions on assigning workers to particularly hazardous activities, prevention requirements for temporary-work agencies and protection of vulnerable groups. This sheet documents those specific effects within a much broader labour reform.
Who it applies to
Article 17, subsections one; two insofar as it concerns pregnancy, breastfeeding and minors; six and seven; and additional provision 13 on occupational accident reporting. Compensation, pay and other hiring measures without preventive content developed here are excluded.
Key provisions
Subsection one refers exclusions for particularly hazardous work in article 8.b of Law 14/1994 to its additional provision 2 and collective agreements complying with it. Sector membership alone does not replace analysis of the job and applicable prohibitions.
Article 17Subsection two incorporated application of the same pregnancy, breastfeeding and minor-protection provisions as for the user undertaking’s own personnel. Temporary assignment does not reduce those preventive safeguards.
Article 17Subsection six set prohibitions in additional provision 2 for exposure to ionising radiation in controlled areas, specified carcinogenic, mutagenic or reproductive-toxic agents and group 3 and 4 biological agents. Historical technical references must be checked against subsequent radiation and chemical-classification regimes.
Article 17For the sectors listed in additional provision 2, collective bargaining could define specific jobs or tasks before 31 March 2011 with a preventive justification and reasoned report. From 1 April 2011, assignment in those fields is subject to applicable restrictions, audited in-house preventive resources at the agency, a committee with at least four prevention delegates, and documented worker aptitude and specific training.
Article 17Subsection seven removed general restrictions outside the law itself from 1 April 2011 while preserving restrictions justified by accepted public-interest grounds. It did not lift additional provision 2 prohibitions or authorise agency workers to perform functions legally reserved to civil servants.
Article 17Additional provision 13 requires specific accident data for particularly hazardous work performed by assigned personnel to be included in institutional reports. This institutional monitoring duty is distinct from each business’s records and reporting obligations.

Transitional provisions and application notes
This sheet distinguishes the amending law from current provisions of Law 14/1994. Historical reform wording does not establish that the entire 2010 labour regime remains unchanged; partial repeals elsewhere in the law are retained in its sources.
Article 17Former chemical categories and the reference to RD 783/2001 must not be presented as substitutes for CLP or RD 1029/2022. Survival of a literal reference does not authorise ignoring the later applicable technical regime.
Article 17The 2011 milestone does not open a new bargaining period in 2026. Check the collective agreement’s validity, the job and legal assignment conditions, together with the prevention duties of the agency and user undertaking.
