title: [Current legislation: reflection and prospectives].
abstract: Activity of "competent physician" in the process of risks assessment is one of the most important functions within the "integrated system of prevention" that must be present in all workplaces of our country (Legislative Decree no. 81/08). This cooperation is enshrined in Article. 25, paragraph 1 ("Competent physician [: A)] cooperate with the Employer and the Service of Prevention and Security to risk assessment (...)." The failure is severely punished (by imprisonment up to 3 months or a fine up to 1,600 Euros). The law does not specify methods and procedures by which this obligation can be considered discharged. This report seeks to specify how to fulfill this requirement, in an attempt to harmonize the formal aspects with possible answers. So, it's possible identify a "guideline" that allows to fulfill this obligation in the best way and sharing conclusions with all the competent physicians and with inspectors of prevention services.
