CARSAT Aquitaine: what grants help prevent malaise at work?

Summary

The regional "Prévention Malaises" grant aims to help certain small businesses located in Aquitaine reduce risk factors that can cause malaise at work, particularly heat stress, and improve the organisation of emergency response. The Capital OS database currently links one entry to this funder: "Subvention Prévention TPE - Prévention Malaises" (ID 12612). Equipment and services can only be funded if they fall within the applicable specifications. Do not place an order before checking the rules and the application procedure.

What does CARSAT Aquitaine do?

CARSAT Aquitaine notably works on preventing occupational risks for businesses under the general social security scheme in the five départements of its territory. It informs employers about grants, award conditions and the steps to take via the business account. These prevention grants must be distinguished from general aid for investment, cash flow or business development: they have a specific purpose linked to occupational health and safety.

Which grant is recorded in Capital OS?

The entry linked to this funder is the "Subvention Prévention TPE - Prévention Malaises" (grant ID 12612). It targets the prevention of malaise at work and the reduction of risk factors, particularly heat stress. The reference entry mentions an application deadline of 30 June 2028; this date does not guarantee either budget availability or the eligibility of an application at the time it is submitted. The conditions published online, and any updates to them, take precedence over the database summary.

What expenses can be covered?

Based on the information currently recorded in the database, the categories of equipment or services include: • reducing heat stress: fixed air-conditioning or cooling systems, cooling misters, compression coolers, cooling or heating clothing; • organising emergency response: lone worker alarm devices (DATI), automated external defibrillators (AED), workplace first-aider (SST) training and awareness sessions on life-saving actions. The technical details, eligible references, evidence requirements and exclusions must be checked in the official specifications. Long-term rental, leasing and hire-purchase are flagged as non-eligible in the database's source entry.

What amount can be obtained?

The database entry indicates coverage of 50% of the pre-tax amount of equipment and 70% of the pre-tax amount of certain services (training, awareness sessions, maintenance or technical studies), for a grant of between €500 and €25,000. These rates and caps should be confirmed in the current official version, as the exact scope of expenses, required supporting documents and budget rules may change. The final amount depends on the approved base and the processing of the application.

Who can apply for this grant?

The conditions recorded in the database target companies and associations located in Aquitaine, under the general social security scheme as an employer, and with 1 to 49 employees at SIREN level. The employer must notably be up to date with its occupational accident and disease contributions, be a member of an occupational health and prevention service (SPST), and have a single risk assessment document (DUERP) compliant with applicable rules. Public sector bodies are listed as excluded. Further exclusions may apply, particularly in the event of a recent prevention contract or an injunction/additional contribution: check the full list in the specifications.

How do you prepare and submit the application?

1. Describe the risk and the prevention need: heat, heat stress, worker isolation or emergency response organisation.
2. Update the DUERP and check membership of the SPST as well as the status of AT/MP (occupational accident/disease) contributions.
3. Compare the project against the equipment, services and exclusions in the official specifications.
4. Check the timetable and budget availability before committing to anything; do not assume that an expense already incurred will be reimbursed.
5. Gather the quotes and documents required by the regulation in force, then submit the application via the Compte Entreprise on net-entreprises.fr following the procedure indicated by the Carsat.
6. Keep invoices, proof of completion and supporting documents, and track the application via the portal. If in doubt, contact the prevention department at Carsat Aquitaine.

Points to watch before relying on the grant

• The deadline mentioned in the entry does not amount to confirmation that the budget is open. • The purchase must correspond precisely to the eligible expenses and specifications; a generic category such as "air conditioning" is not enough to establish that a piece of equipment is eligible. • Check the exclusions and the business's status before submitting the application. • Do not automatically combine this grant with other support: check the combination rules and the caps on public aid that apply. • This content is a guidance summary, not an eligibility decision. The fund and the official specifications take precedence.
