CARSAT Centre-Ouest: funding the prevention of occupational risks

The role of CARSAT Centre-Ouest

CARSAT Centre-Ouest belongs to the Assurance retraite network and is involved in particular in preventing occupational risks. Its territory covers Charente, Charente-Maritime, Corrèze, Creuse, Deux-Sèvres, Vienne and Haute-Vienne. Businesses must check which fund has jurisdiction according to where their establishment is located.

The Subventions Prévention TPE

The Subventions Prévention TPE help fund equipment or actions aimed at reducing certain occupational risks. The Capital OS reference database links four schemes to CARSAT Centre-Ouest: Equipement plus sûr, Risque routier, Réduction de l’exposition au gaz radon and Silence +. These grants are intended for businesses with fewer than 50 employees, according to the criteria of the referenced schemes.

Equipement plus sûr

This grant targets improving the safety of machinery and work equipment. Before purchasing, check the list of eligible equipment, the technical specifications, the funding rate, the minimum investment amount and the reservation or application procedure.

Risque routier

This grant targets the prevention of occupational road risk. The business must check the equipment or actions accepted, the conditions applicable to its activity and the required supporting documents. Expenses are only eligible if they fall within the scope of the official specifications.

Réduction de l’exposition au gaz radon

This scheme aims to reduce occupational exposure to radon in workplace premises. The business must check the conditions relating to the diagnosis, the eligible work or equipment, and the prevention measures required by the specifications.

Silence +

This grant aims to reduce employees’ exposure to noise. The project must meet the scheme’s technical requirements, and the equipment or work must fall within the eligible categories listed by the official source.

Who can benefit?

The associated listings target businesses with fewer than 50 employees. Additional conditions may concern the establishment, risk prevention, administrative status, equipment, the amount of expenses and compliance with social obligations. The fund may request a file before the order is placed or the work carried out.

How do you prepare an application?

Identify the risk to be reduced, check which grant matches the project, download the official specifications, then gather the quotes and documents requested. Confirm whether the application must be filed before purchase, work or delivery. Once approved, keep invoices and supporting documents in line with the required retention periods.
