Occupational safety and health for temporary employees

As regards occupational safety and health, employees under a contract or temporary employment relationship enjoy the same level of protection as that provided to the other employees of the indirect employer.

The indirect employer, without prejudice to the contractual provision for the TEA’s joint and several liability as well, is responsible for the conditions under which the employee’s work is performed and for the occupational accident.

The TEA has the obligation to employ a safety technician and an occupational physician, regardless of the number of employees it employs.
