1) Act 31/1995 on Prevention of Occupational
Risks, Article 20, the employer, taking into ac-
count the size and work activities of the com-
pany shall analyze the possible situations of
emergency and shall take the necessary mea-
sures for first aid, fire-fighting and evacuation
of workers, designating for those purposes the
workers required to implement such measures
and checking periodically, where appropriate,
their proper working order.
2) Additionally, a specific emergency Plan
called Self-protection Plan is required for those
activities or facilities that fall under Royal De-
cree 393/2007, of March 23, which approves
the Basic Self-protection Plan of centers,
establishments and dependencies dedicated
to activities that may give rise to emergency
situations:
Art. 2 (Annex I) establishes the activities that
fall into the Royal Decree. As an example, activ-
ities where chemicals are stored above several
thereshold limits or buildings where maximum
evacuation height is equal to or greater than
28 meters or with a maximum occupancy is at
least 2,000 people.
The content of the Self-protection plan is de-
veloped in the Basin Rule included in the Royal
Decree and has to be officially registered.
NOTE: Specific requirements have been
established by several Autonomous Regions,
that also affect to the type of activities that are
required to perform a Self-protection plan and
the minimum content, for example Catalonia
(Decree 30/2015, of March 3, approving the
activities and centers that must implement
self-protection measures and establisking their
content).
1) According to Act 31/1995 on Prevention of
Occupational Risks, Article 20, the employer,
taking into account the size and work activities
of the company shall analyze the possible
situations of emergency and shall take the
necessary measures for first aid, fire-fight-
ing and evacuation of workers, designating
for those purposes the workers required
to implement such measures and checking
periodically, where appropriate, their proper
working order. The mentioned personnel must
have the necessary training, must be sufficient
in number and must have at their disposal
adequate equipment in accordance with the
circumstances above mentioned.
Generally, there is no specific requirement in
relation to the number of members, etc. Train-
ing needs are established by Article 34 of Royal
Decree 39/1997 (as amended through Royal
Decree 298/2009 of 6 March 2009 and Royal
Decree 337/2010 of 19 March 2010). Defines
basic, intermediate and higher qualification
requirement and functions (Art. 35-37 and
Annexes IV-VI).
2) However, specific requirements are estab-
lished for those activities or facilities that fall
under Royal Decree 393/2007, of March 23,
which approves the Basic Self-protection Plan
of centers, establishments and dependencies
dedicated to activities that may give rise to
emergency situations:
Art. 2 (Annex I) establishes the activities that
fall into the Royal Decree. As an example, activ-
ities where chemicals are stored above several
thereshold limits or buildings where maximum
evacuation height is equal to or greater than
28 meters or with a maximum occupancy is at
least 2,000 people.
Point 3.5. of the Basic Rule included in the RD
393/2007, indicates that personnel involved
in the emergency team must be provided with
practical and theorical training (content not
detailed).
Point 3.6. of the Basic Rule included in the RD
393/2007 indicates specific designations.
1) According to Act 31/1995, on Prevention of
Occupational Risks, Article 18(1), the facility
must provide each individual with all of the
necessary information regarding the risks and
preventive measures affecting his/her work-
place, including measures adopted for emer-
gency response (including first aid, fire-fighting
and worker evacuation).
Generally, there is no specific requirement
in relation to emergency drills, including the
periodicity.
2) However, it is especifically required for
those activities or facilities that fall under
Royal Decree 393/2007, of March 23, which
approves the Basic Self-protection Plan of
centers, establishments and dependencies
dedicated to activities that may give rise to
emergency situations:
Art. 2 (Annex I) establishes the activities that
fall into the Royal Decree. As an example,
fall under the Royal Decree activities where
chemicals are stored above several thereshold
limits or buildings where maximum evacuation
height is equal to or greater than 28 meters or
with a maximum occupancy is at least 2,000
people.
Point 3.6.4. of the Basic Rule included in the
RD 393/2007. Drills must be performed at least
annually.
NOTE: Specific requirements have been
established by several Autonomous Regions,
that also affect to the type of activities that are
required to perform a Self-protection plan, for
example Catalonia (Decree 30/2015, of March
3, approving the activities and centers that
must implement self-protection measures and
establisking their content).
1) Generally not required, but if installed, regis-
tering and training processes must be followed
according to Royal Decree 365/2009, de 20 de
marzo, which establishes the conditions and
minimum requirements for safety and quality
in the use of automatic and semi-automatic
external defibrillators outside the health field.
Registering and training requierements and
processes are developed by the Autonomous
communities.
2) Several Autonomous Regions require the
installation of AED under several conditions,
for example:
In Madrid, workplaces with more than 250
employees the installation of AED is required
(Decree 78/2017, of September 12, regulating
the installation and use of AED outside the
health field.
In Catalonia, several activities or establisments
where a self-protection Plan is required, must
install AEDs. (Decree 30/2015, of March 3,
approving the activities and centers that must
implement self-protection measures and
establisking their content).

It is important that employees know how first
aid and crisis support are organized and set up,
and that their knowledge is kept up to date.
Recurrent information updates are necessary,
as well as possible practical training or drills
of the routines. It is important that schools
and other education centres also inform the
students of how first aid and crisis support are
organized. In this context temporary staff must
not be forgotten either.
