Question 2193 — work

Summary

Mr. Matthias Renault draws the attention of the Minister of Labor and Employment to the arrangements for monitoring the status of workers involved in the installation of offshore wind turbines on the one hand, as well as to the training of labor inspection personnel responsible for this verification on the other. The renewable energy sector, in particular that of offshore wind farms, is experiencing rapid development in France. It is notably the case in the Somme which, with 747 wind turbines, has the largest wind farm in the country and which is also affected by neighboring projects such as the wind farm under construction off the coast of Dieppe and Tréport in Seine-Maritime. However, this industrial sector involves specific working conditions, both technically and legally, particularly with regard to the status of workers. sailing at sea. Workers installing wind turbines at sea may be subject to various legislative regimes, depending on their employment status, their place of employment or the application of international conventions such as the Maritime Labor Convention. In addition, the presence of posted workers, often involved in international projects, raises questions regarding compliance with employment conditions. work and social standards in force in France. In this context, the MP wishes to know what specific arrangements have been put in place by the Ministry of Labor and Employment to ensure control of the status of these workers. What concrete actions are taken by the labor inspectorate to ensure compliance with safety standards, working conditions and employee rights, particularly at sea? Furthermore, due to the specificity of this sector, it appears essential that labor inspectors be trained in these particularities. The MP wonders about the existing training systems for labor inspectors, so that they can effectively carry out their mission of monitoring working conditions in the context of the installation of wind turbines at sea. Does this training include knowledge in-depth examination of the international rules applicable to seagoing workers, as well as the technical specificities of this booming sector? Finally, what measures are being taken to guarantee effective cooperation between state authorities, wind industry players and other institutions involved in the regulation of work at sea?
