Construction / Civil Engineering / solar energy construction | | Spanish term or phrase: actos de control preventivo | La Disposición Adicional Octava de la Ley 6/1997, de 8 de julio, del suelo rústico de las Islas Baleares, en su redacción dada por la Ley 25/2006 de 27 de diciembre, de Medidas de Illes Balears 2007; y el artículo 26 del Decreto 96/2005 de 23 de septiembre, de aprobación definitiva de la revisión del plan Director Sectorial Energético de las Islas Baleares, eximen a las obras de nueva construcción de instalaciones eléctricas de los ** actos de control preventivo ** municipal a los que se refiere el artículo 84.1.b) de la Ley 7/1985 de 2 de abril, reguladora del régimen local, por constituir actividades de interés supramunicipal.
Normally, I think of preventivo as "health and safety", but I can't imagine that they would exempt anything from health and safety controls... But preventive doesn't work (I don't think, at any rate)...
This is UK English, please.
Many thanks |

| | (municipal) health and safety procedures | Explanation:
I agree that "health and safety" is the way to say "control preventivo" in UK English, at least in this kind of case, referring to electrical installations. Although, as you say, it seems bizarre to exempt buildings from health and safety regulations, I think what's involved here is purely procedural. The relevant article ("artículo 84.1.b) de la Ley 7/1985 de 2 de abril, reguladora del régimen local") says
1. Las Corporaciones locales podrán intervenir la actividad de los ciudadanos a través de los siguientes medios:
a) Ordenanzas y Bandos.
b) Sometimiento a previa licencia y otros actos de control preventivo.
c) Órdenes individuales constitutivas de mandato para la ejecución de un acto o la prohibición del mismo.

So what your text is saying is that such activities are not subject to normal municipal procedural controls in this area. They will still be subject to supramunicipal regulations on health and safety. It's a jurisdictional issue. That's how I read it, anyway.

I should add that "preventive control" sounds alien to my (British) ear, as you suggest, but appears to be normal in US English.

(Response to asker) That's how I understand it. There's national and regional health and safety legislation, but this is about the issuing of a local authority building licence, which just means that the local authority has to be satisfied that building conforms to regulations. Exemption from obtaining such a licence doesn't imply exemption from health and safety legislation itself; it just means that control is applied at a different level and by different means.

24 mins confidence: Precautionary/Preventative measures
Explanation:
...eximen a las obras de nueva construcción de instalaciones eléctricas de los ** actos de control preventivo ** municipal a los que se refiere el artículo 84.1.b) de la Ley 7/1985 de 2 de abril, reguladora del régimen local, por constituir actividades de interés supramunicipal.
Exempt electrical installations on new build projects from the (normal ,locally imposed) precautionary/preventative measures(applicable here) in favour of (more widescale) rules/regulations as the scale here warrants subjection to the rules of , say, the autonomous region ,rather than just those of the local council.
Hope this helps!

| Notes to answerer
Asker: ah, ok! So what it means is that it is not subject to local/municipal health and safety procedures (though it is presumably subject to other health and safety procedures...)...?
Asker: Great, thanks very much Charles, that really helps - I hadn't seen the distinction of it being about the *level* at which the h&s procedures apply. And was therefore thinking that perhaps it meant something else altogether
