Business activity coordination

The coordination of business activities (CAE) involves analysing and preventing the risks that may be caused by the interaction of different activities that may be carried out simultaneously on the same site, to ensure that all participating companies and workers are aware of and comply with their health and safety obligations.

What is

business activitiy coordination?

When there is a concurrence of several companies in the same workplace, all are obliged to inform themselves and their workers about the occupational risks involved in their activity and about the measures to prevent said risks. In addition, the legislation introduces a series of obligations for the owner of the workplace, who must act as a protagonist in this task of risk control and coordination of activities. It also establishes a series of obligations for the main employer, that is, the one who contracts with third-party companies to carry out part of his own activity. These obligations are mainly to comply with surveillance and control over the companies and workers that he subcontracts.

Royal Decree 171/2004, on the coordination of business activities, develops article 24 of Law 31/1995 on prevention of occupational risks, which emphasized the same sense. To carry out risk control, the Decree specifies the applicable definitions and concepts (work center, concurrence of companies, owner employer, main employer, etc.) and establishes a series of obligations for the actors involved.
