#PAE: Un montador ha tenido un accidente en el montaje: ¿Qué debo saber y hacer? ¿Cuál es mi responsabilidad?

Before starting any work related to the assembly, it is necessary to plan and establish the necessary protocols to know how to act in case of any type of accident. On the other hand, it is advisable to know the mutual accident insurance company of each company to be able to act quickly, being the 24-hour number that all of them have to be called to communicate what happened and provide the worker’s data, as well as to know the care center (in case of a minor accident) to which the worker should be transferred (this can also be done by the company itself).



In the event that specific first aid personnel are available, they will be attended by this professional in the first instance. In the event of a serious or very serious accident, call 112 and coordinate the arrival of external assistance.

Responsibilities vary depending on the organization, planning and implementation of the necessary preventive measures to be able to carry out the work safely. What is clear is that it is up to the contractor to “watch over” the subcontractor, and therefore the responsibilities are shared in the event of an accident. The important thing is to plan and implement the necessary measures and ensure that workers comply with them, leaving a written record as this is the only thing that will later be valid before the labor inspection or a hypothetical trial in the event that criminal proceedings are opened in the event that there are reasonable indications or doubts about an omission of functions and obligations of all the figures in the subcontracting organization chart.

In other words, in addition to civil and administrative liabilities, there may be criminal liabilities, so it is essential to comply with the provisions of Royal Decree 171/2004, which develops Article 24 of Law 31/1995, on Occupational Risk Prevention, on the subject of Coordination of Business Activities.
