Article 14.5 of the Law on Prevention of Occupational Risks (hereinafter LPRL) states: "The cost of the measures relating to health and safety at work can in no way be at the expense of workers. "

LPRL Article 22 of the states: " The employer must ensure workers in its service periodic monitoring of their state of health according to the risks inherent in the work [ ...].»

examinations or health surveillance tests are voluntary for the employee but not employer, because it comes out examinations or tests for the monitoring of the health risks according to work, and therefore, its realization is derived from the risk assessment conducted by the company and so it follows the provisions of art. 3.1 of Royal Decree 39/1997 of 31 January approving the Regulation of prevention services in establishing, "regularly monitor the conditions, organization and working methods and state of health of workers.
