Article 24 of Law 31/1995, of November 8, on Occupational Risk Prevention, and its subsequent implementation through Royal Decree 171/2004, of January 30, establishes that when two or more companies carry out personal activities in the same workplace, these companies must cooperate in the application of regulations on risk protection and prevention, as well as in providing information on these risks to their respective workers.
Description of the procedure
At the University of Barcelona a series of situations can arise in which coordination between companies, institutions, individuals, research groups, etc. is necessary. There are two possible scenarios: the contracted company may carry out the same activity as the UB or it may carry out a different activity (taking on services that are not provided by the University).
The UB will determine the means of coordination of activities that are considered necessary according to the characteristics of the activities and the space where they are carried out. These means may vary for each situation depending on the duration and duration of the activity, as well as the number of workers exposed.
