Art. 2. In Article 3, § 1^er, 9°, of the Act of 4 August 1996 on the welfare of workers during the execution of their work the words "any physical or moral person" are replaced by the words "the physical or moral person".
Art. 3. In Chapter V of the Act, as amended by the Acts of 27 December 2004, 9 March 2005 and 6 May 2009, a section 4 entitled:
“Section 4. - Presence registration system".

"Art. 31bis. § 1^er. This section applies:

§ 2. This section applies to temporary or mobile construction sites in which work is carried out by at least two contractors, who act simultaneously or successively, and that relate to works with a total surface area of 1,000 m² or more.
The King determines the calculation of the total surface of 1000 m² or more.
The King may make applicable the provisions of this section to other temporary or mobile sites other than those referred to in paragraph 1^er or extend the application of these provisions to all temporary or mobile sites. "
Art. 5. In the same section 4, an article 31ter is inserted as follows:
"Art. 31ter. § 1^er. For each temporary or mobile site, the presence of each natural person as determined in Article 31bis, § 1^er, 1° to 4°, is registered :
1° by means of an electronic presence registration system, hereinafter referred to as the registration system, or
2° by the use or provision of their subcontractors of another automatic registration method, provided that this device offers guarantees equivalent to those of the registration device referred to in 1° and that the evidence is provided that persons present at the temporary or mobile site are actually registered.
The King shall determine, by order deliberately in the Council of Ministers, the equivalent guarantees to which the registration referred to in paragraph 1^er, 2° must meet the minimum.
The registration system referred to in paragraph 1^er, 1°, includes:
1° a database: the data bank managed by the authority that collects data determined for the control and operation of these data;
2° a recording device: the device in which the data can be recorded and which allows the data to be sent to the database or a system that allows the above data to be recorded and sent to the database;
3° a means of registration: the means that each individual must use to prove his or her identity during the recording.
§ 2. The registration system referred to in § 1^erParagraph 1^er, 1°, and the registration method referred to in § 1^erParagraph 1^er, 2°, takes the following data:
1° the physical person identification data;
2° as applicable, the address or geographical description of the site of the temporary or mobile site;
3° the quality with which a natural person performs services on the temporary or mobile site;
4° the employer's identification data, when the physical person is a worker;

Federal Public Service Employment, Labour and Social Concertation is responsible for processing data referred to in Article 1^er, § 4, of the Act of 8 December 1992 on the protection of privacy with respect to personal data processing.
The registration system ensures that the data cannot be changed imperceptibly after they are sent and that their integrity is maintained.
§ 3. Following the advice of the Commission on the Protection of Privacy, the King, by order deliberately in the Council of Ministers, determines the conditions and modalities to be met by the registration system, including:
1° the characteristics of the system;
2° the procedures for updating the system;
3° the data to be used that the system must understand;
4° the terms and conditions of sending the data, in particular the precise time of sending;
5° the various means of recording and their technical specifications that are allowed to register;
6° the data that is not to be recorded if they are already available elsewhere electronically for the authority and that can be used in this Act."
Art. 6. In the same section 4, an article 31quater is inserted as follows:
"Art. 31quater. § 1^er. The enforcement master shall make the registration device available to the contractors to whom it appeals, unless it has agreed in common that the contractor applies another registration method referred to in section 31ter, § 1^erParagraph 1^erTwo.
Any contractor to whom the enforcement master appeals is required to use the registration device made available by the execution master and to make it available to the contractors to whom he appeals or to apply the registration method referred to in section 31ter, § 1^erParagraph 1^erTwo.
Any subcontractor to which a contractor referred to in paragraph 2 appeals is required to use the registration device made available by the contractor and to make it available to the subcontractors to whom the contractor appeals or to apply the registration method referred to in section 31ter, § 1^erParagraph 1^erTwo.
Any subcontractor to whom a subcontractor referred to in paragraph 3 appeals or to whom any subsequent subcontractor appeals is required to use the registration device that is made available by the subcontractor with whom the subcontractor has entered into a contract and to make it available to the subcontractors to whom the subcontractor appeals or applies the registration method referred to in section 31ter, § 1^erParagraph 1^erTwo.
§ 2. If the registration is done by a registration device on the site, the persons referred to in paragraph 1^er are responsible for the delivery, installation and operation of the registration device on the temporary or mobile site.
If the registration is done at another location, they take the necessary steps to ensure that this registration presents the same guarantees as the registration that takes place on the site.
The King may, after the advice of the Privacy Commission, specify the measures referred to in this paragraph. "
Art. 7. In the same section 4, an article 31quinquies is inserted as follows:

The King may, after the advice of the Privacy Commission, specify the measures referred to in paragraph 2 by order deliberately in the Council of Ministers. "
Art. 8. In the same section 4, an article 31sexies is inserted as follows:
"Art. 31sexies. § 1^er. Any person on a temporary or mobile site is required to register immediately and daily his or her presence on the site.
§ 2. The employer is responsible for the handover of the registration method to its workers, which is compatible with the registration device used on the site.
The execution master, contractor or subcontractor who appeals to an independent is responsible for the handover of the independent registration method, which is compatible with the registration device used on the site.
The King shall determine by order deliberately in the Council of Ministers, after the advice of the Commission on the Protection of Privacy, which is responsible for the handover of the means of registration for other persons.
The King also determines by deliberate decree in the Council of Ministers, after the advice of the Commission on the Protection of Privacy, what must be heard by this compatibility.
§ 3. If the registration is done at another location than the construction site, the provision of § 1^er does not apply.
In this case, the persons referred to in § 2, paragraph 1^er at 3, take the necessary measures to ensure that the registration is done effectively and that it presents the same guarantees as the registration that is made on the site.
The Minister of Employment controls whether the registration presents the same guarantees as the registration on the site. "
