Spanish RD 1627/1997
Legal framework and liability
The Health & Safety Coordinator during the construction phase is a strict legal requirement under Spanish Royal Decree 1627/1997. Its purpose is to articulate and coordinate everyone involved to avoid risk interference.
Administrative liability
Financial penalties for failures in coordination and control duties.
Civil liability
Compensation for damages arising from negligent coordination.
Criminal liability
Sentences that can include prison in cases of gross negligence causing harm.
That's why appointing a sound professional is key: rigorous coordination protects the workers and reduces the developer's legal exposure.
