Transitional provisions and application notes

  • The error correction of 11 February 2006 forms part of the checked history; no later express amendments in that record does not mean there is no complementary legislation.

    Official reference
  • Initial periods for establishing prevention bodies and adapting training plans are historical. The assessment and audit intervals in Articles 5 and 19, by contrast, are recurring duties.
