General Internal Rules & Regulations for Trainees

L6352-3 and L6352-4 to R6352 of the Labour Code

PREAMBLE

Article 1 – Purpose and scope of the rules

The present internal regulations apply to all persons participating in a training course organised by CEDEP

The regulations define the rules of hygiene and safety, the general and permanent rules relating to discipline as well as the nature and scale of sanctions that may be taken against trainees who contravene them and the procedural guarantees applicable when a sanction is envisaged.

All persons must comply with the terms of these rules throughout the training course.

SECTION 1: HEALTH AND SAFETY RULES

Article 2 – General principles

The prevention of accidents and illnesses is imperative and requires everyone to respect :

the applicable health and safety regulations on the training premises ;
any instructions imposed either by the management of the training organisation or by the manufacturer or the trainer, particularly with regard to the use of the equipment and premises made available.

Each trainee must therefore ensure his or her personal safety and that of others by complying with general and specific health and safety instructions.

If he/she notices a malfunction in the safety system, he/she shall immediately inform the management of the training organisation.

Failure to comply with these instructions exposes the person to disciplinary sanctions.
