Overview
- From November 14, households employing domestic workers must have a completed occupational risk evaluation or face sanctions from the Labour Inspectorate.
- Fines for non‑compliance range from €2,451 for lesser offenses to roughly €49,000 for aggravated cases, according to official guidance.
- The Prevencion10 platform, adapted since May for domestic work, is the main route to comply, yet the Labour Ministry says it is currently down due to a malicious attack.
- Families may use Prevencion10 or hire an insurer or third party to carry out the assessment, the resulting prevention plan must be given to the worker and updated after significant changes, and costs cannot be shifted to employees.
- The requirement covers several hundred thousand domestic workers, and the law adds a triennial medical check starting in 2026 at no cost to workers.
