The decree updates the special health conditions required for environmental technicians whose jobs involve navigation at sea or work in mountain environments. It lists the roles covered, including park guards, environmental inspectors, specialist unit agents, mobile intervention brigade agents, and other posts where assigned duties require boating, mountain walking, or mountain driving. For public bodies managing these staff, the practical effect is clearer screening for posts with higher physical or operational demands. The text also replaces outdated legal references with references to the current General Civil Service Code, making the rules easier to align with today’s civil service framework.
