When Emergency Hospital Not Required
Formerly Article 158 before the 2015 renumbering — court decisions before 2015 cite it this way.
The requirement for an emergency hospital or dental clinic shall not be applicable in case there is a hospital or dental clinic which is accessible from the employer’s establishment and he makes arrangement for the reservation therein of the necessary beds and dental facilities for the use of his employees.
