Health and safety management: DUERP

Document Unique d'Evaluation des Risques Professionnels, what are your responsibilities?

Risk assessment is not an end in itself. Its usefulness lies in the preventive actions it will lead to. Its purpose is not to justify the existence of a risk, whatever it may be, but, on the contrary, to implement effective measures aimed at eliminating risks, in accordance with the general principles of prevention. Extract from French circular no. 6 DRT of April 18, 2002.

Thus, occupational risk prevention covers many and varied risks, such as :

- psychosocial risks (RPS)
- risks related to physical activity
- risks related to movement and traffic
- biological risks
- chemical risks
- environmental risks

Each organization has its own specific features, which is why the DUERP cannot be generic. It has to be specific and adapted to each company, by carrying out an ongoing assessment of the risks associated with the organization, and by involving all the players.

Why should you produce a DUERP?

In addition to the penalties incurred in the absence of a DUERP – a fine of up to €1,500 per establishment, €3,000 if the offence is repeated, and even imprisonment for the employer in the event of prosecution for a workplace accident, for example – this is above all a question of employer responsibility.

Indeed, as an employer, it is imperative to comply with regulations and the Labor Code. The employer is responsible for the regulatory aspect, in this case in terms of health and safety at work.

Unfortunately, the absence of a DUERP is often not a question of ill will, but simply a lack of skills or expert resources to formalize it.

Drawing up a DUERP in compliance with the French Labor Code is a complex and time-consuming task. That’s why Boost’RH’s expert consultants can help you set it up and update it regularly (at least once a year).

Awareness-raising and training

Clémence CABAL Legal and Training Manager Scouts Unitaires de France

Boost'RH's support for our CSE elections was a perfect fit. Everything is personalized and turnkey. Véronique was invaluable, always ready to listen and answer all my questions without delay. The great plus: a little email or phone call to remind me of deadlines, check up on me etc... Many thanks!

Luis MONTEIRO HSE Coordinator I-CARE France

To set up our CSE for our 60 French employees, we called on Boost'RH Groupe, who were responsive, available and professional from the outset. The support provided by Véronique R. was invaluable in setting up and running this election. Demonstrating pedagogy on all applicable rules and in the completion of each step of the process. We recommend the services of Boost'RH Groupe.

Philippe LEMAIRE Head of School RAVAGO in Drusenheim (67)

Since December¹, 2018, our business has been sold to a European plastics group. With no HR resources on site, we turned to Boost'RH for support. Boost'RH was very responsive in offering us support within a very short timeframe, and our collaboration with Boost'RH is much appreciated by all our staff. Boost'RH shares its in-depth knowledge of SMEs with us, and is an integral part of our management committee. It's a real source of ideas and a great help in guiding us through this period of transformation. The introduction of the CSE and the negotiation of new agreements were a resounding success thanks to this weekly support, which can be flexibly adjusted to suit the moment. Philippe Caquet, head of Boost'RH, is also ready to listen and help us if we need it. I recommend Boost'RH. for his ability to make proposals, his excellent contacts, his flexibility and his energy.
