What it regulates

Adapts prevention organisation and participation, prevention services and system oversight to Spain’s General State Administration.

Who it applies to

The General State Administration and related or dependent bodies with civil-service or statutory staff, also covering employment-contract staff where both coexist. Article 2 sets military, police, prison and other activity-specific conditions; whole occupational groups are not presumed exempt merely by name.

Key provisions

Integrate prevention into management through a documented plan identifying responsibilities, organisation, resources and objectives, supported by risk assessment and preventive planning.

Article 3

Select and resource prevention arrangements after consultation, prioritising internal resources and respecting the rules for internal services, designated staff or external services.

Article 7

Provide on-site preventive resources where required and coordinate activities when workers from other administrations, businesses or self-employed people share the workplace.

Article 9

Subject the system to periodic external oversight and address the report’s deficiencies and proposals, informing staff representatives.

Article 10

All text versions recorded by the BOE

Publication and effective dates are different. The table retains the dates and provisions of each recorded text version; it does not treat future transitional deadlines as requirements already applicable.

Transitional provisions and application notes

  • Special certification of intermediate-level training is confined to the staff and transitional conditions specified and involves the authorised bodies. It does not generally authorise any provider or newly appointed staff.

    Transitional provision first
  • The 2014 reform allowed three months to adjust the number of prevention representatives; this is a historical reorganisation period.

    Transitional provision second
  • Implementation of the new committee rules was linked to renewal of the representative bodies specified. Reconstructing a past period requires checking when that renewal occurred, rather than assigning a single date absent from the text.

    Transitional provision third
  • It expressly repealed Royal Decree 1488/1998; the 1998 regulation is a historical predecessor, not the current general adaptation text.
