What it regulates

Approves the SGPRL-AGE-2013 update and requires departments and public bodies to adapt their manual, prevention plan and procedures. It seeks to complete implementation and integrate responsibilities and continuous improvement. Model documents provide reference and guidance for adaptation to each organisation.

Who it applies to

Departments and public bodies of the General State Administration within Royal Decree 67/2010. The resolution organises an internal prevention system; it does not certify actual implementation, replace LPRL duties or require private businesses to adopt this administrative model.

Key provisions

Approves the SGPRL-AGE-2013 system update. The annex identifies the Prevention Manual and Management System Procedures.

First provision

Requires updating each organisation’s system—specifically the manual, plan and procedures—using the models as reference and guidance. Keeping a generic document without adaptation is insufficient.

Second provision

Under-secretariats and public-body directorates-general that had not completed implementation were to do so within a maximum of six months. This is the 2013 implementation requirement, not a new period beginning whenever this entry is consulted.

Third provision

The Directorate-General for the Civil Service may review, improve and update the instruments under section 11 of Royal Decree 67/2010. The annex points to FUNCIONA’s PRL area for the documents.

Fourth provision and annex

History and versions

BOE publication: 09/12/2013 · Initial entry into force: No specific commencement date set in the text; see application notes

BOE-A-2013-12862

Expressly updates the model approved by the Resolution of 17 February 2004 to reflect Royal Decree 67/2010 and other OSH changes. It acknowledges incomplete implementation. Paragraph four allows future updates to the instruments; the continuing existence of the resolution does not prove that internal manuals have remained unchanged since 2013.
