Question 13986 — work accidents and occupational diseases

Summary

Mr. Nicolas Pacquot draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the occupational health and safety reporting network (RSST). The RSST plays an essential role since it allows each professional to take an active part in preserving their own health, their safety at work, and, consequently, their well-being within their professional environment. In his commitment to the protection, safety, health and improvement of the working conditions of its employees, the Ministry of National Education adopts the fundamental principles of prevention set out in the labor code, which includes the possibility of using the RSST. Indeed, the RSST aims to enable any person working in an educational establishment or usually or occasionally attending an establishment school to report situations considered abnormal or likely to compromise the physical integrity and health of individuals, or the safety of property. A completely commendable arrangement. However, the first reader of the RSST is the head of the establishment. Thus, this poses a problem to the extent that this same head of establishment may be involved in the reporting. In certain circumstances, this situation can therefore create a reluctance to resort to RSST, for fear of judgment or reprisals in return. This is why he asks him if he could consider modifying this system, so that the person using it can choose his first reader between the academy inspector or the head of the establishment; this modification would aim to promote the freedom of speech within educational establishments as well as to guarantee greater independence and better protection of whistleblowers.
