Verified 17 March 2022 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

The Preventive Work Account (C2P) is used to identify and reference occupational risk factors for a worker's exposure above certain thresholds.

  • Working in the private sector
  • Be affiliated to the general social security scheme
  • Have an employment contract of at least 1 month

  • Have an employment contract of at least 1 month
  • Be exposed to at least 1 risk factor above a certain threshold

Occupational risk factor(s) are characterized by employee exposure above certain thresholds.

This exposure can leave lasting, identifiable and irreversible traces on health.

They must be of minimum intensity and duration.

These minimum values shall be evaluated taking into account the collective or individual means of protection employed by the employer.

The employer reports to the pension funds occupational risk factors to which employees are exposed beyond the regulatory thresholds.

This declaration shall be made in the registered social declaration (DSN).

The number of points earned depends on the risk factors to which the employee is exposed and his age:

General case

Exposure to a risk factor

4 points per year

For an employee who starts or finishes his contract during the year, points are counted by quarter.

For example, 1 point per quarter in case of exposure to 1 risk factor, for employees born after 1er July 1956.

Regardless of the duration of the employment contract, the points earned by the employee over the year are carried over to his account once a year, following the declaration of his employer.

The maximum total number of earned points that can be entered into the account is 100 over the employee's entire career.

The points accumulated in the account shall be earned by the employee until they are used up in full or until retirement.

The employer shall declare in the DSN: titleContent the risk factors to which the employee is exposed beyond the thresholds.

The account is automatically created as a result of this declaration.
