Pri določenih dejavnostih, kot je vzdrževanje, pri katerih je predvidena možnost znatnega povečanja izpostavljenosti delavcev in za katere so izčrpani vsi nadaljnji tehnični preventivni ukrepi za omejitev izpostavljenosti delavcev, delodajalec določi po posvetu z delavci in/ali njihovimi predstavniki v podjetju ali enoti, brez vpliva na delodajalčevo odgovornost, ukrepe, ki so potrebni, da se trajanje izpostavljenosti delavcev skrajša na najkrajši možni čas in zagotovi zaščita delavcev med opravljanjem takih dejavnosti.
For certain activities such as maintenance, in respect of which it is foreseeable that there is the potential for a significant increase in exposure of workers, and in respect of which all scope for further technical preventive measures for limiting workers' exposure has already been exhausted, the employer shall determine, after consultation of the workers and/or their representatives in the undertaking or establishment, without prejudice to the employer's responsibility, the measures necessary to reduce the duration of workers' exposure to the minimum possible and to ensure protection of workers while they are engaged in such activities.
