On the contrary, in business crisis contexts, proper management of occupational safety and health becomes even more relevant, both due to the increased potential risks and the legal and ethical implications involved. ✍️ Applicable Regulatory Framework Law 31/1995 on Occupational Risk Prevention (ORP Law) establishes that all employers are obliged to ensure the safety and health of their workers in all work-related aspects. This obligation is neither suspended nor mitigated by the fact that the company is in a bankruptcy situation. Furthermore, Royal Decree 2/2020, which approves the consolidated text of the Bankruptcy Law, does not contemplate any exemption regarding preventive obligations. Therefore, the bankruptcy administrator, in their role as temporary manager of the company, also assumes responsibilities in this matter. Obligations of the Employer under the Payment Order Procedure Even during the Payment Order Procedure, the company must: 1. Assess the occupational risks present in each job position. 2. Plan the preventive activity, adapting it to the new organizational and economic reality. 3. Inform and train workers about the risks and preventive measures. 4. Monitor employee health, especially in high-risk sectors. 5. Adopt emergency measures and guarantee collective and individual protection. 6. Consult and allow worker participation on prevention matters. These obligations must be fulfilled continuously, without interruptions, and regardless of the company’s financial status. Liabilities Arising from Non-Compliance Failure to comply with ORP obligations can result in different types of liabilities: • Administrative: financial penalties imposed by the Labor Inspectorate. • Civil: compensation for damages to affected workers. • Criminal: in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct, especially if an accident results in serious injury or death. In the context of bankruptcy, these liabilities may extend to both company directors and the bankruptcy administrator if it is proven that there was willful or negligent omission of their preventive duties. Role of the Bankruptcy Administrator The bankruptcy administrator must ensure compliance with ORP regulations from the moment they assume management of the company. This implies: • Reviewing the status of the existing prevention system. • Ensuring the continuity of internal or external prevention services. • Informing the bankruptcy judge of any serious deficiencies in this area. • Coordinating with workers´ representatives to maintain a safe environment. Ignoring these obligations may lead to personal liability for the bankruptcy administrator, especially if their omission contributes to a workplace accident. Increased Risks in Bankruptcy Situations During a Payment Order Procedure, occupational risks can intensify due to: • Staff reduction and work overload. • Lack of maintenance of equipment and facilities. • Lack of motivation and work-related stress. • Organizational uncertainty. For this reason, it is essential that the company, even in crisis, reinforces its preventive commitment and does not view it as an expendable expense, but as an investment in safety, legality, and reputation. Conclusion Occupational risk prevention is not an option but a legal and moral obligation that persists even during the most critical times in a company´s life. In bankruptcy situations, compliance with these obligations not only protects workers but also shields administrators and managers from potential legal liabilities. An effective preventive management during the Payment Order Procedure can make the difference between a viable restructuring and an irreversible collapse, both economically and humanly. ✨ ⚖️ Welcome to the Civil Process Online offered by MCHM Lawyers.
