We are often asked<strong>: what can I do if my worker does not want to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/ypsossafety.com\/accidentes-en-altura-y-sistemas-para-evitarlos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fall protection equipment<\/a> I have provided?<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below we explain the obligations and rights of employer and worker, and we offer different solutions in case the worker fails to meet their duties.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Employer Obligations and Worker Rights Under OHS Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The employer&#8217;s obligations are clearly set out in our legal system, from the Constitution (Article 40.2) to the Workers&#8217; Statute. Both specify that workers have the right to effective protection in matters of occupational safety and health.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To meet the duty of protection, the employer must guarantee the safety and health of the workers in their service in all aspects related to work.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To this end, within the framework of their responsibilities, the employer will carry out <a href=\"https:\/\/ypsossafety.com\/tecnico-prl-de-trabajos-en-altura\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">occupational risk prevention<\/a> by integrating preventive activity into the company and adopting whatever measures are necessary to protect workers&#8217; safety and health, such as:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drawing up the prevention plan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risk assessment, information, consultation, and participation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Worker training<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Action in emergencies and in cases of serious and imminent risk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Health surveillance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it could not be otherwise, there is a correlation between the employer&#8217;s obligations and the workers&#8217; rights.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rights mentioned above form part of workers&#8217; right to effective protection in matters of occupational safety and health.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/ypsossafety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/empresario-y-trabajador.jpg\" alt=\"two wooden figures high-fiving\" class=\"wp-image-10646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ypsossafety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/empresario-y-trabajador.jpg 640w, https:\/\/ypsossafety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/empresario-y-trabajador-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ypsossafety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/empresario-y-trabajador-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/ypsossafety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/empresario-y-trabajador-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ypsossafety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/empresario-y-trabajador-64x48.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Worker Obligations Under <a href=\"https:\/\/ypsossafety.com\/tecnico-de-prevencion-de-riesgos-laborales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OHS<\/a> Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Workers have not only rights but also a number of obligations in preventive matters. Article 19.2 of the Workers&#8217; Statute establishes that workers are required to observe the legal and regulatory safety and hygiene measures in their work.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Article 29 of Law 31\/1995 on Occupational Risk Prevention also sets out workers&#8217; obligations in preventive matters.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What Article 29 of Law 31\/1995 of November 8 on Occupational Risk Prevention says:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>1. It is each worker&#8217;s responsibility to look after, to the extent of their ability and by complying with the prevention measures adopted in each case, their own safety and health at work and that of other persons who may be affected by their professional activity, because of their acts and omissions at work, in accordance with their training and the employer&#8217;s instructions.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>2.

Failure by workers to comply with the risk prevention obligations referred to in the preceding paragraphs shall be considered a breach of employment duties for the purposes of Article 58.1 of the Workers&#8217; Statute or, where applicable, misconduct under the corresponding regulations on the disciplinary regime of public officials or statutory personnel in the service of public administrations. The provisions of this paragraph shall equally apply to members of cooperatives whose activity consists of providing their work, subject to the clarifications established in their Internal Rules.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Failure to Comply with Worker Obligations Under OHS Rules<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The employer must be clear that workers&#8217; failure to comply with their prevention obligations will be considered a <strong>breach of employment duties<\/strong> for the purposes of Art. 58.1. That provision states:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>1.

obligations, including those arising from the <a href=\"https:\/\/ypsossafety.com\/coordinacion-actividades-preventivas-trabajo-en-altura\/\">coordination of preventive activities<\/a> when several companies are involved at the same workplace, and these consist of applying what Royal Legislative Decree 2\/2015 of October 23 says, approving the consolidated text of the Workers&#8217; Statute
