Prevention Business Account (C2P)

Verified 01 September 2023 - Legal and Administrative Information Directorate (Prime Minister)

The Preventive Work Account (C2P) is used to identify and reference occupational risk factors for a worker's exposure above certain thresholds.

In this case, the employer shall draw up a declaration in a paperless manner.

Depending on the employee's exposure to these risks, they earn points on their C2P.

We present you with the information you need to know.

The employer reports to the pension funds occupational risk factors to which employees are exposed beyond the regulatory thresholds.

This declaration shall be made in the registered social declaration (DSN).

Each year, the employee earns 4 points per risk factor to which he is exposed.

For employees born before July 1956, the points are doubled.

Example :

If the employee is exposed to 3 risk factors, he acquires 12 points (4 points x 3 factors = 12 points).

If the employee was born before july 1956, he acquires 24 points.

For an employee who starts or finishes his contract during the year, points are counted in 3-month periods.

For each 3-month exposure period, the employee acquires a point number equal to the number of risks to which he is exposed.

Example :

An employee worked in the company of 1er January to June 30 and was exposed to 3 risk factors. It acquires 6 points (2 quarters x 3 points = 6 points).

Regardless of the duration of the employment contract, the points earned by the employee over the year are carried over to his account once a year, following the declaration of his employer.

The points accumulated in the account shall be earned by the employee until they are used up in full or until retirement.

The employer shall declare in the DSN: titleContent the risk factors to which the employee is exposed beyond the thresholds.

The account is automatically created as a result of this declaration.
