What it regulates

Regulates prevention activities delivered by mutual associations within social-security protection, including planning, funding and monitoring.

Who it applies to

Collaborating mutual associations and specified beneficiaries: associated employers, workers and self-employed people with the relevant cover. These assistance benefits do not create individual entitlements or replace each employer’s prevention services and duties.

Key provisions

Provide advice, accident-reduction work, research and prevention communication, prioritising small employers and sectors with higher accident rates and incorporating a gender perspective.

Article 2

Check beneficiary status and occupational-contingency coverage; receiving these activities does not remove duties under the Occupational Risk Prevention Law.

Article 3

Align funding and delivery with the annual determination of activities, priorities and authorised budget percentage; distinguish the regulatory framework from each year’s plan.

Article 4

Submit plans for approval, report on delivery in the following first quarter and publish the approved plan and its results and costs on the mutual association’s website.

Article 5

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

  • It repealed Articles 1(1)(a), 2 and 3 of Order TAS/3623/2006. The repeal is partial and does not justify marking the entire order as repealed.

    Repealing provision sole
  • For 2026, the planning established by the Resolution of 9 June 2025 was verified. This decree record is not a permanent, unchanging catalogue of fundable activities.

    Official reference
  • The Resolution of 7 July 2026 already sets planning for 2027. Publication in 2026 does not make the 2027 activities those of the current financial year.
