What it regulates
Regulates the Labour Inspectorate’s special procedure for requiring correction of prevention failures in the General State Administration.
Who it applies to
Central and territorial State Administration bodies and included entities, regardless of whether staff have employment-contract, statutory or civil-service status. Article 2 excludes public business entities, contractors and other situations; other administrations are subject to the fallback rule in the second additional provision.
Key provisions
The procedure starts officially, including following a request from staff representatives supported by the required record of prior prevention action.
Article 3After inspection, the proposed requirement must identify failures, corrective measures and the time allowed to implement them.
Article 4The unit and representatives may submit objections within fifteen working days; the article governs how the requirement becomes final and escalation if non-compliance persists.
Article 5For serious and imminent danger, an inspector’s stop-work order is immediately enforceable. A stoppage ordered by staff representatives must be reported immediately and confirmed or cancelled within 24 hours by the specified authority.
