Drafting and updating of the DUERP

Title

Single Professional Risk Assessment Document (DUERP)

Information

The Single Occupational Risk Assessment Document (DUERP) is an essential tool for any company employing at least one employee. It records the results of the assessment of the risks to which workers are exposed, thus ensuring collective traceability of exposures. Since Law No. 2021-1018 of August 2, 2021, reinforced by the Decree of March 18, 2022, clarifications have been provided regarding its content, updating, and retention. Failure to provide a DUERP exposes the employer to legal sanctions, including a fine of up to €1,500.

Duration

The time required to develop and update the DUERP varies depending on the size of the company, the complexity of its activities, and the risks identified. No standard duration is set by regulation.

Price including VAT: 1200 €

Target audience

All employers, from the time the first employee is hired, are required to develop and update the DUERP.

Prerequisites

  • Identify work units within the company.
  • Identify and analyze the occupational risks present in each work unit.
  • Involve internal (employees, staff representatives) and external (occupational health and prevention service) stakeholders in the evaluation process.

Update

Frequency : At least once a year for companies with 11 or more employees. For companies with fewer than 11 employees, an annual update is not mandatory.

Other conditions :

  • When making any major development decision that modifies health and safety conditions or working conditions.
  • When additional information concerning the assessment of a risk is brought to the attention of the employer.

Conservation

The DUERP and its successive versions must be kept for a minimum period of 40 years. Electronic filing on a digital portal will be mandatory from July 1, 2023, for companies with 150 or more employees, and no later than July 1, 2024, for other companies.

Sanctions

The absence of a DUERP or its failure to update it exposes the employer to a fine of up to 1,500 euros.
