Our ESG, EHS & Carbon experts analyze, decipher and explain the issues involved

To protect employees' health, employers must keep a number of mandatory registers on safety and occupational risk prevention.

When one company carries out work on another, it generates risks linked to the interference of their activities. The employers of each company must coordinate the prevention of these specific risks. In this article, you'll find out what measures to take when using an outside company!

The ISO 14001 (environment) and 45001 (health and safety) standards provide a recognized framework for structuring and reinforcing EHS initiatives within organizations.

Long perceived as a secondary function, EHS risk management is now emerging as a strategic lever for strengthening corporate resilience and performance.

This article analyzes the risks of telecommuting in relation to the Covid-19 crisis, covering screen hazards, data security and psychosocial risks.

This article explains that the job description, a risk information and prevention tool within the company, is essential for the safety, environment and integration of employees.

This article denounces the vision of the EHS function as a constraint. It positions it as a lever for sustainable performance, profitability and corporate image.

This article explains that EHS experts need to promote their actions as opportunities for the company, rather than constraints.

The ISO 45001 occupational health and safety standard replaces OHSAS 18001. One year on, questions remain as to whether certain requirements have been taken into account.

From 2019, companies with more than 50 employees and at least 25% of employees exposed to 6 C2P factors, or a claims index > 0.25, must negotiate a "pénibilité" agreement.

The revision of ISO 50001, scheduled for the end of 2018, will align energy management with other ISO standards (HLS) and reinforce the requirement for continuous improvement.

The ISO 45001 occupational health and safety standard, published in March 2018, replaces OHSAS 18001. Companies have 3 years to make the transition, until March 12, 2021.

ISO 45001, published in 2018, replaces OHSAS 18001. It focuses on risk prevention, well-being at work, and worker participation.

C3P is replaced by C2P. The 4 risk factors (handling, awkward postures, vibrations, chemical agents) are excluded. C2P focuses on 6 factors.

The social and economic committee (CSE) replaces the DP, CE and CHSCT. It manages health, safety and working conditions in companies with more than 11 employees.

To obtain ISO 14001 certification, a company must assess the environmental impact of its activities throughout the entire life cycle, from the extraction of materials to recycling, without necessarily carrying out an LCA.

ISO 45001, focusing on occupational health and safety, will be published in 2018. It will replace OHSAS 18001 and emphasize continuous improvement and employee consultation.

Following the Rebsamen law, a 2016 decree extends the mandate of CHSCT members to 4 years. Deadlines for consultation and sending agendas have also been shortened for greater responsiveness.

Compulsory since 2001, the Document Unique (DU) assessing occupational risks, even if often incomplete or out of date, remains the cornerstone of prevention in the workplace.

ISO 14001:2015, which has been in force for 10 months, requires companies to integrate environmental management into their strategy, and to consider the life cycle and stakeholders.

Since July 1, 2016, six new arduousness factors have been applicable, with an instruction specifying the implementation and assessment procedures for employers.

A 2016 text simplifies posting obligations in the workplace. Modern means (intranet, e-mail) can now be used to communicate internal regulations and other information.

Employers are required to declare their employees' exposure to work-related risks. A personal prevention account is opened for employees exposed beyond certain thresholds.

The ISO 50001 standard, based on the PDCA model, helps companies reduce their energy consumption and costs. It also offers an energy audit exemption for large companies.

The Rebsamen law modifies the "pénibilité" system. Individual records have been replaced by an employer declaration, and industry benchmarks have been made more secure.

Companies with more than 250 employees must carry out an energy audit every 4 years, unless they have ISO 50001 certification, which proves that they are making continuous progress.

The Single Document, which has been mandatory since 2001, identifies occupational hazards. Its collaborative and rigorous implementation is essential for prevention, safety and compliance.
